(E)-N2-{4-[(E)-2-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)ethenyl]-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl}-N1,N1-dimethylformamidine: polarized molecules within sheets of π-stacked hydrogen-bonded chains

Abstract

The molecules of the title compound, C(22)H(21)ClN(4)O, are conformationally chiral, and in the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) each crystal contains only one conformational enantiomer. The intramolecular dimensions provide evidence for polarization of the electronic structure. Molecules are linked by a single C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bond into chains, which are themselves weakly linked into sheets by an aromatic pi-pi stacking interaction.
