A short intramolecular C¡ªH...¦Ð interaction is observed involving a substituted ¦Ç5-C5H4 ring and an ortho H atom of the benzene ring on the opposite side of the molecule. In the crystal structure, there are no classical hydrogen bonds: interactions comprise a short C6¡ªH...¦Ð(C6) interaction involving substituted benzene rings and two C¡ªH...O=C interactions per molecule. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809006278
