2-(1H-Benzotriazol-1-Yl)-1-Phenyl­Ethanol

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H13N3O, the benzotriazole ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 13.43 (4)° with respect to the phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the b axis. Aromatic π–π contacts between benzene rings and between triazole and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.8133 (8) and 3.7810 (8) Å, respectively], as well as a weak C—H⋯π inter­action involving the phenyl ring, are also observed.
