Crystal structure of 1,13,14-tri­aza­dibenz[a,j]anthracene 1,1,2,2-tetra­chloro­ethane monosolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(11)N(3)·C(2)H(2)Cl(4), consists of one half-mol­ecule of 1,13,14-tri­aza­dibenz[a,j]anthracene (dibenzo[c,h]-1.9,10-anthyridine, dbanth) and one half of 1,1,2,2-tetra­chloro­ethane (TCE), both of which are located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the planes of the terminal benzene rings in dbanth is 3.59 (7)° owing to the steric repulsion between the H atoms in the two benzo groups and the H atom in the central pyridine ring of the anthridine skeleton. In the crystal, π–π inter­actions between pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.568 (2) and 3.594 (2) Å] link the dbanth mol­ecules to form a one-dimensional columnar structure along the c axis. The dbanth and TCE mol­ecules are connected through weak bifurcated C—H⋯(N,N) hydrogen bonds.
