Crystal structures of 4-(2/3-meth-oxy-phen-oxy)phthalo-nitrile.

The syntheses and crystal structures are reported of 4-phen-oxy-substituted phthalo-nitriles with meth-oxy groups in the ortho - and meta -positions of the terminal benzene rings, respectively, namely, 4-(2-meth-oxy-phen-oxy)phthalo-nitrile and 4-(3-meth-oxy-phen-oxy)phthalo-nitrile, both C 15 H 10 N 2 O 2 . The https://journals.iucr.org/e/issues/2023/03/00/mol-ecular structure was determined using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. It is shown that short contacts play a more decisive role in the mol-ecular packing compared to van der Waals inter-actions.
