The title butterfly-shaped molecule, C11H6N2O2, is folded slightly along the O=C
C=O line, the dihedral angle between the two parts being 6.42 (3)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked through C-H
O hydrogen bonds into infinite layers parallel to the ac plane. The layers are further connected into a three-dimensional netweork via
-
interactions formed between pairs of antiparallel arranged molecules, with a centroid-centroid distance between the central six-membered ring and the benzene ring of 3.4349 (9) Å.
A solution of phthaloyl chloride (5.58 g, 27.5 mmol) in dry pyridine (20 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture of imidazole (1.7 g, 25 mmol) and bis (triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride (0.87 g) in dry pyridine (15 ml) at 273 K. The mixture was refluxed for 4 h, then cooled to room temperature and poured into ice water (150 ml). The aqueous solution was extracted with chloroform and the chloroform solution was washed with 2 % aqueous HCl solution and distilled water (3 x15 ml). It was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum. The amorphous residue was re-crystallized from acetonitrile to give yellow crystals of the title compound (m.p. = 232-234° C).
Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined as riding atoms with C—H distance of 0.95 Å and with Uiso(H) set to 1.2 Ueq(C).

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. |

This work reports the first crystal structure of an isoquinolinedione-fused imidazole. The structure of an isoquinolinedione-pyrrole fused system has been reported previously (Du & Hitchcock, 1992). The present molecule (Fig. 1) is almost planar (r.m.s deviation = 0.0718 Å) but slighly bent along the O=C···.C=O line with the corresponding dihedral angle of 6.42 (3)°. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Table 1) connect the molecules into a two-dimensional array in the ac plane (Fig. 2). The isoquinoline rings of pairs of the molecule related by symmetry –x + 1, -y + 1, -z, are placed above each other in an anti-parallel manner with the centriods of the six-membered heterocyclic ring and the benzene ring at a distance of 3.4349 (9) Å.
