Area of Science:

  • Crystallography
  • Materials Science
  • Organic Chemistry

Background:

  • The crystal structure of 2-biphenylol exhibits significant disorder.
  • Previous studies have characterized its room-temperature structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reinvestigate the crystal structure of 2-biphenylol as a function of temperature.
  • To determine if temperature influences the molecular disorder and packing.

Main Methods:

  • X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystal structure.
  • Structure determination was performed at multiple temperatures (305, 294, 145, and 90 K).
  • Crystals were cooled rapidly and slowly to assess thermal effects.

Main Results:

  • The room-temperature structural findings were confirmed.
  • No significant structural changes were observed down to 90 K.
  • The molecular stacking observed in 2-biphenylol is likely present in related biphenyl derivatives.

Conclusions:

  • The disordered structure of 2-biphenylol remains stable across a wide temperature range.
  • Packing efficiency appears to be a more dominant factor than hydrogen bonding in this crystal structure.
  • The findings suggest a general packing motif for 2- and 2,2'-substituted biphenyls.
