Abstract :
A novel chalcone, C20H20O, derived from benzylidenetetralone, was synthesized via Claissen–Schmidt condensation between tetralone and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, producing R22(20) and R24(12) ring motifs. In addition, weak C—H⋯π and π-stacking interactions are observed. The intermolecular interactions were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, revealing that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (66.0%), H⋯C/ C⋯H (22.3%), H⋯O/O⋯H (9.3%), and C⋯C (2.4%) interactions. Shape-index plots show π–π stacking interactions and the curvedness plots show flat surface patches characteristic of planar stacking.
