Synthesis, X-ray structure and N-H...O interactions in 1,3-diphenyl-urea

Abstract

The synthesis, X-ray structure and role of intermolecular interactions have been studied in case of 1,3-diphenyl-urea, owing to its medicinal importance. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic crystal system (space group, Pna2 1) with unit cell parameters, a = 9̇118(3), b = 10̇558(2), c = 11̇780(3) Å and Z = 4. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to a final R-value of 0-0316. The oxygen atom of the carbonyl group is responsible for the existence of two N-H...O intermolecular interactions. © Indian Academy of Sciences.
