S1. Experimental
1-Naphthol (2.88 g, 20 mmol) was mixed with sodium hydroxide (0.08 g, 20 mmol) in several drops of water. The water
was then evaporated. The paste was heated with 2-chloroquinoxaline (3.29 g, 20 mmol) at 423–433 K for 6 h. The
product was dissolved in water and the solution extracted with chloroform. The chloroform phase was dried over sodium
sulfate; the evaporation of the solvent gave a product that was recrystallized from a chloroform/ether mixture.
S2. Refinement
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 Å) and were included in the refinement in the
riding model approximation, with U(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, Friedel
pairs were averaged in the final refinement.

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full
covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and
torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry.
An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
