Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun. 2020 Jun 26;76(Pt 7):1146-1149. doi: 10.1107/S2056989020008191. eCollection 2020 Jul 1.

Abstract

The title compound, C13H9IN2O3, was synthesized by a condensation reaction between 2-hy-droxy-5-nitro-benzaldehyde and 4-iodo-aniline, and crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pna21. The 4-iodo-benzene ring is inclined to the phenol ring by a dihedral angle of 39.1 (2)°. The configuration about the C=N double bond is E. The crystal structure features C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the packing arrangement are O⋯H/H⋯O (26.9%) and H⋯H (22.0%) inter-actions.

Keywords: 2-hy­droxy-5-nitro­benzaldehyde; 4-iodo­aniline; crystal structure; hydrogen bonding; salicyl­aldehyde derivative.
