9-(2-Pyridylmeth-oxy)-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium perchlorate methanol solvate
Abstract:
In the title organic salt, C(18)H(14)N(3)O(+)·ClO(4) (-)·CH(4)O, there is a π-π stacking inter-action between neighbouring 1,10-phenanthroline rings and the relevant distances are 3.5453 (18) Å for the centroid-centroid distance and 3.354 Å for the perpendicular distance. There is also a relatively close contact between a C-H bond and a symmetry-related pyridine ring. There are classical N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the cation, methanol solvent mol-ecule and perchlorate anion.

02:23Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
