Abstract

The title compound, C(22)H(16)N(2)O·CH(4)O, is a product of the condensation reaction between phenanthrene-quinone and 4-methoxy-benzadehyde. There are two imidazole mol-ecules and two methanol molecules in the asymmetric unit. The phenanthryl and imidazole rings are almost parallel in both mol-ecules, with inter-planar angles of 6.65 (1) and 5.40 (3)°. The dihedral angles between the imidazole and the attached benzene rings are 5.40 (3) and 6.65 (1)° in the two molecules. Inter-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing.
