In the title compound [also called 5,6-dibromo­isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione], C8H3Br2NO2, there are two planar mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. They both form inversion dimers, one via N—H⋯O links and one via short near-linear C—H⋯O links. The dimers are then linked into chains by further N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Comment

The title compound, (I)[link], was prepared as an inter­mediate en route to potential novel chromophores. This compound was first reported by Hanack & Stihler (2000[Hanack, M. & Stihler, P. (2000). Eur. J. Org. Chem. pp. 303-311.]).

[Scheme 1]

All the geometrical parameters for (I)[link] (Fig. 1[link]) lie within their expected ranges (Allen et al., 1995[Allen, F. H., Kennard, O., Watson, D. G., Brammer, L., Orpen, A. G. & Taylor, R. (1995). International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. C, Section 9.5, pp. 685-706. Dordrecht: Kluwer.]). There are two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of (I)[link]; both are essentially flat, with an r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane of 0.017 Å for the mol­ecule containing C1 and 0.012 Å for the mol­ecule containing C9. The dihedral angle between the two mol­ecules is 7.96 (16)°. The geometries of the six- and five-membered rings in (I)[link] are not significantly different from those in phthalimide, (II) (Zakaria et al., 2002[Zakaria, C. M., Low, J. N. & Glidewell, C. (2002). Acta Cryst. C58, o9-o10.]), with the exception of the C1—C2 and C9—C10 bonds [mean = 1.414 (9) Å], which are slightly longer than the equivalent bond of 1.387 (2) Å in (II), perhaps due to steric repulsion between the ortho Br atoms.

The crystal packing (Fig. 2[link]) for (I)[link] results in hydrogen-bonded inversion dimers for both mol­ecules (Table 1[link]). For the mol­ecule containing C1, two strong near-linear C6—H6⋯O2i (see Table 1[link] for symmetry codes) inter­actions are the linking bonds. The H⋯O separation of 2.36 Å implies a strong inter­action (Taylor & Kennard, 1982[Taylor, R. & Kennard, O. (1982). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104, 5063-5070.]; Desiraju & Steiner, 1999[Desiraju, G. R. & Steiner, T. (1999). The Weak Hydrogen Bond in Structural Chemistry and Biology, p. 38. Oxford University Press.]). An R22(10) supra­molecular ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995[Bernstein, J., Davis, R. E., Shimoni, L. & Chang, N.-L. (1995). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 1555-1573.]) arises. For the C9 species, two more conventional, `hard', N—H⋯O bonds fuse the dimeric pair of mol­ecules together. The supra­molecular motif that results is an R22(8) loop. Adjacent C1 and C9 dimers are then linked by the N1—H1⋯O4 bond, resulting in mol­ecular tapes propagating in [210].

A PLATON (Spek, 2003[Spek, A. L. (2003). J. Appl. Cryst. 36, 7-13.]) analysis of (I)[link] identified two short Br⋯O inter­actions, compared with the Bondi (1964[Bondi, A. (1964). J. Phys. Chem. 68, 441-451.]) van der Waals separation of 3.37 Å for these atoms. The close Br1⋯O3iii separation of 3.209 (6) Å probably correlates with the N1—H1⋯O4 hydrogen bond linking the mol­ecules into chains (see Fig. 2[link]). The significance of the second short contact, Br3⋯O1iv [symmetry code: (iv) −x, 1 − y, −z] of 3.117 (6) Å, which occurs between adjacent [110] chains, is less obvious. A short Br4⋯Br2iv contact of 3.59017 (14) Å (the contact radius is 3.7 Å) is also apparent. Any ππ stacking effects in (I)[link] must be exceedingly weak, with a minimum ring-centroid separation of 4.12 Å.

The crystal structure of (II) with one asymmetric mol­ecule (Zakaria et al., 2002[Zakaria, C. M., Low, J. N. & Glidewell, C. (2002). Acta Cryst. C58, o9-o10.]) also shows chains of mol­ecules linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions, but the C—H⋯O bonds in (II) (mean H⋯O = 2.55 Å) are much weaker than those in (I)[link]. Although inversion-generated loops featuring C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O inter­actions are present, the chain and overall structures of (I)[link] and (II) are quite different.

The C14—H14 group appears to be well aligned to form a C—H⋯O inter­action to O1 (C—H⋯O = 174°), but the H⋯O separation of 2.80 Å is longer than the Bondi (1964[Bondi, A. (1964). J. Phys. Chem. 68, 441-451.]) contact distance of 2.72 Å, suggesting that, at best, this is a very weak inter­action.

Experimental

Rather than the published method of Hanack & Stihler (2000[Hanack, M. & Stihler, P. (2000). Eur. J. Org. Chem. pp. 303-311.]), a modified Wohrle (Wohrle et al., 1993[Wohrle, D., Eskes, M., Shigehara, K. & Yamada, A. (1993). Synthesis (Stuttgart), pp. 194-196.]) synthesis was used to prepare (I)[link]. Dibromo­phthalic anhydride and excess formamide were heated with stirring, at 413 K, without solvent for 5 h. The solution was cooled and filtered, and the residue was washed with cold water. The crude product was recrystallized (50:50 v/v, EtOH–H2O) and dried overnight in a desiccator (P2O5). Slow crystallization from dichloro­methane yielded colourless blocks of (I)[link] (yield 66%; m.p. 508–513 K). Analysis found: C 31.4, H 0.9, N 4.4, Br 52.1%; C8H3Br2NO2 requires: C 31.5, H 1.0, N 4.6, Br 52.4%

The title compound, (I), was prepared as an intermediate en route to potential novel chromophores. This compound was first reported by Hanack & Stihler (2000).

All the geometrical parameters for (I) (Fig. 1) lie within their expected ranges (Allen et al., 1995). There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit of (I); both are essentially flat, with r.m.s. deviations from the mean plane of 0.017 Å for the molecule containing C1 and 0.012 Å for the molecule containing C9. The dihedral angle between the two molecules is 7.96 (16)°. The geometries of the six- and five-membered rings in (I) are not significantly different from those in phthalimide, C8H5NO2, (II) (Zakaria et al., 2002), with the exception of the C1—C2 and C9—C10 bonds [mean = 1.414 (9) Å], which are slightly longer than the equivalent bond of 1.387 (2) Å in (II), perhaps due to steric repulsion between the ortho-Br atoms.

The crystal packing (Fig. 2) for (I) results in hydrogen-bonded inversion dimers for both molecules (Table 1). For the C1 molecule, two strong, near-linear C6—H6···O2i (see Table 1 for symmetry codes) interactions are the linking bonds. The H···O separation of 2.36 Å implies a strong interaction (Taylor & Kennard; Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). An R22(10) supramolecular ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) arises. For the C9 species, two more conventional, `hard', N—H···O bonds fuse the dimeric pair of molecules together. The supramolecular motif that results is an R22(8) loop. Adjacent C1 and C9 dimers are then linked by the N1—H1···O4 bond, to result in molecular tapes propagating in [210].

A PLATON (Spek, 2003) analysis of (I) identified two short Br···O interactions in (I), compared with the Bondi (1964) van der Waals separation of 3.37 Å for these atoms. The close Br1···O3iii separation of 3.209 (6) Å probably correlates with the N1—H1···O4 hydrogen bond linking the molecules into chains (see Fig. 2). The significance of the second short contact, Br3···O1iv [symmetry code: (iv) -x, 1 - y, -z] of 3.117 (6) Å, which occurs between adjacent [110] chains, is less obvious. A short Br4···Br2iv contact of 3.59017 (14) Å (the contact radius is 3.7 Å) is also apparent. Any ππ stacking effects in (I) must be exceedingly weak, with a minimum ring-centroid separation of 4.12 Å.

The crystal structure of (II) with one asymmetric molecule (Zakaria et al., 2002) also shows chains of molecules linked by N—H···O and C—H···O intermolecular interactions, but the C—H···O bonds in (II) (mean H···O = 2.55 Å) are much weaker than those in (I). Although inversion-generated loops featuring C—H···O and N—H···O interactions are present, the chain and overall structures of (I) and (II) are quite different.

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
