Abstract
The crystal structure of 3, 3′-dimethoxybiphenyl has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods with an aim of describing the hydrogen interaction in biphenyl derivatives. The title compound crystallizes in monoclinic space groupP21/c with unit cell dimensions,a = 7.706(1),b = 11.745(2),c = 12.721(2) Å, β = 92.31(1)°,Z = 4 and its structure has been refined up to the reliability index of 3.8%. The average torsion angle about the inter-ring C-C bond is 37.5°. The O1 and Ol′ atoms of the methoxy group are deviated by 0.046(1) Å and 0.234(1) Å from the mean planes of respective rings. The crystal cohesion is pronounced due to three-inter-molecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
