Abstract
The compound, 3-(4-ethylphenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, was synthesized by using 4-methoxy-2-hydroxyacetophenone and 4-ethylbenzaldehyde solutions. The synthesized compound was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and finally confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The compound is a dimer in nature, and crystallizes in the triclinic crystal class in the space group P1. The cell parameters are a = 9.6860(9)A, b = 12.6650(17)A,c = 13.4990(18)A, a = 68.808(4)˚, b = 81.149(7)˚, g = 79.863(7)˚, V = 1511.5(3)˚ and Z = 4. In the crystal, O–H·O hydrogen bonds connect the hydroxy donor group and the C=O acceptor group. The R1[I > 2s(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0600 and 0.1984, respectively.
