Abstract
Abstract A piperidine substituted methyl 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate was synthesized for application as a supramolecular host, which yielded colorless and light yellowish orange crystals using different solvents for crystallization. The crystals of the substituted methyl 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate were analysed using melting point, IR, Reflectance UV–Visible, fluorescence, SEM, 1H NMR, DSC, PXRD and single crystal X-ray crystallographic techniques to reveal polymorphism. The crystal data were also analysed computationally using Gaussian 09, CLP-PIXEL, Crystal Explorer software to reveal the differences in the intermolecular interactions and optical properties. The short intermolecular interactions such as C–H … π and π … π interactions differentiated the polymorphs of the molecule studied here.
