Abstract
The title compound 14-hydroxy-14-phenyldibenzo[a,j]xanthene 1 formed a (1:1) complex with diethyl ether. 1,4-Dioxane was also enclathrated, but with a variable stoichiometric ratio. Single crystal X-ray crystallography was used to elucidate the crystal structure of the 1·diethyl ether complex. Crystals are orthorhombic with space group P212121, a = 8.532(3), b = 15.040(4), c = 18.491(5) Å, V = 2373(1) Å3, d c = 1.256 g/cm3, and Z = 4. Host and guest molecules were found to associate via hydrogen bonds, with the guest molecules residing in undulating channels lined by host molecules.
