1,4-Bis[2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-phenoxy]butane

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C30H24N2O2S2, adopts a transoid conformation consistent with the inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C-C single bond, resulting in one half molecule in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the coplanar benzothiazole ring system and the benzene ring is 11.06 (7)degrees. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular pi-pi interactions between thiazole and benzene rings to form a three-dimensional network.
