(Z)-3-(9-Anthryl)-1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(26)H(16)ClN(3)O(3), the dihedral angle between the anthracene mean plane and imidazole ring is 64.75 (2)°. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions between anthracene fragments lead to the formation of stacks of mol-ecules propagating in [100]. The short distance between the carbonyl groups of symmetry-related molecules [C⋯O = 2.985 (2) Å] indicates the existence of dipole-dipole inter-actions. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter-molecular contacts between the nitro groups and Cl atoms [Cl⋯O = 3.181 (2) Å].
