Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies of 1,3-bis-[2-meth-oxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phen-oxy]propane.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H28O4, comprises two half-mol-ecules, with the other half of each mol-ecule being completed by the application of twofold rotation symmetry. The two completed mol-ecules both have a V-shaped appearance but differ in their conformations. In the crystal, each independent mol-ecule forms chains extending parallel to the b axis with its symmetry-related counterparts through C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (65.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (21.8%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (12.3%) inter-actions. Optimized structures using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol-ecular structu
