4,4′-Di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine–hexafluorobenzene (1/1)

Abstract

The title structure, C18H24N2·C6F6, comprises mixed stacks of alternating 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine and hexafluorobenzene molecules, both lying on crystallographic mirror planes. There are weak C—H...N (2.46–2.51 Å) and C—H...F (2.52–2.74 Å) hydrogen bonds lying on the mirror planes, as well as π–π interactions between stacked aromatic molecules (as indicated by interplanar distances of 3.35 Å).
