A new polymorph of N-phenyl-phthalimide
Abstract:
During an attempt to prepare a cocrystal of N-phenyl-phthalimide, C(14)H(9)NO(2), with N-(2,3,4,5,6-penta-fluoro-phen-yl)phthalimide, a new ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of the first component was obtained. This new form has Z' = 0.5 and the mol-ecule is located around a twofold axis, whereas in the previously reported polymorph (space group Pbca), the mol-ecule has no crystallographically imposed symmetry. Pairs of C-H⋯O inter-actions between inversion-related phthalimide units arrange mol-ecules into tapes that are further assembled into (010) layers via stacking inter-actions between phthalimide fragments [inter-planar distance = 3.37 (5) Å].

Structure 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.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and phenols...
