The crystal structure of 1‐hydroxy‐2,4,5‐triphenyl‐1 H ‐imidazole 3‐oxide ( 1 ) has been determined from laboratory X‐ray powder‐diffraction data. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form chains via OH⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds related by a twofold screw axis. One of the O⋅⋅⋅O distances is extremely short (2.32(1) and 2.43(1) Å). Solid‐state NMR spectroscopy (CPMAS) combined with calculation of absolute shieldings (GIAO/B3LYP/6‐31G*) allowed us to determine that the compound behaves as if the OH⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bond has the proton in the middle (single‐well potential), resulting in the near identity of both 15 N‐NMR signals.
