Tri-p-tolyl-1,3,5-triazine

2,4,6-Tris(2,4-dimethyl-phen-yl)-1,3,5-triazine

Two virtually superimposable mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(27)H(27)N(3). The range of dihedral angles between the central 1,3,5-triazine ring and the attached benzene rings is 20.88 (14)-31.36 (14)°, and the shape of each mol-ecule is of a flattened bowl. The crystal packing features weak C-H⋯π bonds and π-π inter-actions between triazine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid separations = 3.7696 (17) and 3.7800 (18) Å] that result in the formation of supra-molecular layers in the ac plane. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor twin component of 20.7 (3)%.
