The molecular structures of two flavones, wogonin (1) and mikanin (2), and two biflavonoids, cupressuflavone (3) and neochamaejasmin A (4), were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The intermolecular pi-pi interactions in 1-4 and the flavanones alpinetin (5) and naringenin (6) were investigated. Compounds 1-4 feature offset face-to-face intermolecular pi-pi interactions with centroid-centroid distances ranging from 3.70 to 3.81 Angstrom and displacement angles ranging from 2.7 to 9.9degrees.
