14-(4-Chlorophenyl)-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthene

Abstract

In the title compound, C 27 H 17 ClO, the xanthene fused-ring system adopts a shallow butterfly conformation [dihedral angle between the two halves of the ring system = 22.9 (1) . The dihedral angle between the central heteroyclic ring and the pendant chlorophenyl group is 87.60 (8) . In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C-HÁ Á Á interactions.
