p-Decylphenyl isocyanide and p-decylbenzonitrile: isomorphous isonitrile/nitrile isomers

D. Britton, J. R. Sowa Jr and K. R. Mann

Abstract: p-Decylphenyl isocyanide, p-C₁₀H₂₁-C₆H₄-NC or C₁₇H₂₅N, and p-decylbenzonitrile, p-C₁₀H₂₁-C₆H₄-CN or C₁₇H₂₅N, are isomorphous. The molecules lie in mirror planes, with the C₆ rings perpendicular to the mirror. The packing of both molecules includes an aliphatic region, with close to ideal packing of the C₁₀H₂₁ chains, and an aromatic region, with phenyl ring-CN interactions. In addition, the CN ends of the molecules are also involved in a CNNC dipolar interaction.

Formula: C₁₇H₂₅N
