In the title racemic compound, C12H10ClNO, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 74.34 (6)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag C(5) [001] chains in which alternating R- and S-configuration mol­ecules are related by c-glide symmetry. In addition, inversion-related pairs of mol­ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of weak C—Cl⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions, which link the hydrogen-bonded chains into (100) sheets. Structural comparisons are drawn with a number of related compounds.

1. Chemical context

Simply substituted di­phenyl­methanols, RPh2COH, exhibit a very rich diversity of supra­molecular arrangements, including isolated mol­ecules, hydrogen-bonded dimers, trimers, tetra­mers and hexa­mers, as well as continuous hydrogen-bonded chains (Ferguson et al., 1992[Ferguson, G., Gallagher, J. F., Glidewell, C., Low, J. N. & Scrimgeour, S. N. (1992). Acta Cryst. C48, 1272-1275.], 1994[Ferguson, G., Gallagher, J. F., Glidewell, C. & Zakaria, C. M. (1994). Acta Cryst. C50, 70-73.], 1995[Ferguson, G., Carroll, C. D., Glidewell, C., Zakaria, C. M. & Lough, A. J. (1995). Acta Cryst. B51, 367-377.]). The predominant mode of mol­ecular association in these structures involves O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, although O—H⋯π(arene) inter­actions are sometimes present. It is therefore of considerable inter­est to investigate the influence of an addition potential acceptor of hydrogen bonds as achieved, for example, by the replacement of one of the phenyl rings by an isosteric pyridyl substituent. Here we report the mol­ecular and supra­molecular structure of (RS)-4-chloro­phen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol (I)[link] (Fig. 1[link]), which shows some striking structural differences from the simpler, non-chlorinated analogue phen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, whose structure has been reported recently (Kim & Kang, 2014[Kim, H. & Kang, S. K. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o947.]; Tsang et al., 2015[Tsang, M. Y., Di Salvo, F., Teixidor, F., Viñas, C., Planas, J. G., Choquesillo-Lazarte, D. & Vanthuyne, N. (2015). Cryst. Growth Des. 15, 935-945.]).

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecules of compound (I)[link] contain a stereogenic centre at atom C1 (Fig. 1[link]) and the reference mol­ecule was selected as one having the R-configuration at atom C1. The centrosymmetric space group confirms that compound (I)[link] has crystallized as a racemic mixture.

Both of the rings are rotated out of the plane of the central C11–C1–C22 fragment, which makes dihedral angles of 70.69 (2) and 84.66 (9)° with the phenyl and pyridyl rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the rings is 74.34 (6)°, and this value is very similar to the value of 71.42 (10)° reported (Kim & Kang, 2014[Kim, H. & Kang, S. K. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o947.]) for the corres­ponding angle in the non-chlorinated analogue, compound (II). The general conformational similarity between the mol­ecules of compounds (I)[link] and (II) is shown by the torsional angles O—C—C—C and O—C—C—N (Table 1[link]), where the corresponding angles for the R-enanti­omer of (II) [the reference mol­ecule was actually selected (Kim & Kang, 2014[Kim, H. & Kang, S. K. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o947.]) as one having the S-configuration] are 49.0 (4) and −150.6 (2)°, respectively.

However, one point of difference between the conformations in compounds (I)[link] and (II) centres on the locations of the hydroxyl H atoms. In compound (I)[link], this atom is anti­periplanar to atom C11 (Table 1[link]), but the corresponding torsional angle for the R-enanti­omer of (II) is −67 (2)°. This difference in hydroxyl group conformations is probably associated with the different patterns of hydrogen-bonded supra­molecular aggregation in compounds (I)[link] and (II), as discussed below.

3. Supra­molecular inter­actions

The mol­ecules of compound (I)[link] are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (Table 2[link]), forming zigzag C(5) chains running parallel to the [001] direction. The chain containing the reference mol­ecule at (x, y, z) consists of mol­ecules which are related by the c-glide plane at y = [1\over4], so that mol­ecules of R-configuration and S-configuration alternate along the chain (Fig. 2[link]). Two chains of this type, related to one another by inversion, pass through each unit cell.

For the sake of clarity, the H atoms bonded to the ring C atoms have been omitted. The atoms marked with an asterisk (*), a hash (#) or a dollar sign ($) are at the symmetry positions (x, [{1\over 2}] − y, [{1\over 2}] + z), (x, [{1\over 2}] − y, −[{1\over 2}] + z) and (x, y, 1 + z), respectively.

The crystal structure of compound (I)[link] contains neither C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds nor ππ stacking inter­actions. There is, however, a single short C—Cl⋯π contact with geometric parameters Cl⋯Cgi = 3.5280 (10) Å, C⋯Cgi = 5.1785 (19) Å and C—Cl⋯Cgi = 157.79 (7)° [symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, −y, −z] where Cg represents the centroid of the pyridine ring. This Cl⋯Cg distance is slightly shorter than the average distance, 3.6 Å, deduced (Imai et al., 2008[Imai, Y. N., Inoue, Y., Nakanishi, I. & Kitaura, K. (2008). Protein Sci. 17, 1129-1137.]) from database analysis in a study which concluded that such inter­actions were attractive, with inter­action energies of ca 2 kcal mol−1, comparable to those typical of weak hydrogen bonds (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999[Desiraju, G. R. & Steiner, T. (1999). In The Weak Hydrogen Bond. Oxford University Press.]). In compound (I)[link], this inter­action links inversion-related pairs of mol­ecules into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers (Fig. 3[link]).

The overall effect of the C—Cl⋯π inter­action in (I)[link] is to link the hydrogen-bonded chain containing mol­ecules related by the c-glide plane at y = [1\over4] directly to the two chains that contain mol­ecules related by the glide planes at y = −[1\over4] and y = [3\over4], respectively, and propagation by translation of this inter­action links the hydrogen-bonded chains along [001] into a sheet lying parallel to (100) (Fig. 4[link]), but there are no direction-specific inter­actions between adjacent sheets.

4. Structural comparisons with related compounds

It is of inter­est briefly to compare the supra­molecular assembly in compound (I)[link], mediated by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C—Cl⋯π inter­actions, with the assembly in some closely related compounds (II)–(VIII) (see Fig. 5[link]), and particularly with compound (II), whose constitution differs from that of (I)[link] only in lacking the chloro substituent.

[Figure 5]

Related compounds.

The mol­ecules of compound (II) are linked into C(5) chains by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (Kim & Kang, 2014[Kim, H. & Kang, S. K. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o947.]; Tsang et al., 2015[Tsang, M. Y., Di Salvo, F., Teixidor, F., Viñas, C., Planas, J. G., Choquesillo-Lazarte, D. & Vanthuyne, N. (2015). Cryst. Growth Des. 15, 935-945.]), as in compound (I)[link], but in (II) helical chains are built from mol­ecules related by 21 screw axes in space group Pna21, whereas in (I)[link] zigzag chains are built from mol­ecules related by glide planes. Hence in compound (II) each chain is homochiral, with equal numbers of chains built only from mol­ecules having the R-configuration or only from mol­ecules having the S-configuration: in (I)[link], by contrast, each chain contains an alternation of the two enanti­omers (cf. Fig. 2[link]).

Similar homochiral C(5) chains are formed in each of the three isomeric carborane derivatives (III)–(V) (Tsang et al., 2015[Tsang, M. Y., Di Salvo, F., Teixidor, F., Viñas, C., Planas, J. G., Choquesillo-Lazarte, D. & Vanthuyne, N. (2015). Cryst. Growth Des. 15, 935-945.]), regardless of whether they are crystallized as single enanti­omers or as racemates. The structure of compound (VI), which is isomeric with (II) has been reported briefly (Shimada et al., 2003[Shimada, H., Fujiki, S., Oginuma, M., Asakawa, M., Okawara, T., Kato, K., Yamamura, S., Akita, H., Hara, A. & Imamura, Y. (2003). J. Mol. Catal. B Enzym. 23, 29-35.]) but, unfortunately, no atomic coordinates have been deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database (Groom & Allen, 2014[Groom, C. R. & Allen, F. H. (2014). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53, 662-671.]). The structure report on (VI) concerns enanti­omerically pure forms, in space group P212121, so that the formation of homochiral helical chains of C(7) type, seems plausible.

Compound (VII), which differs from (I)[link] and (II) in containing two unsubstituted phenyl rings but no pyridyl ring, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in space group P22121 (Ferguson et al., 1995[Ferguson, G., Carroll, C. D., Glidewell, C., Zakaria, C. M. & Lough, A. J. (1995). Acta Cryst. B51, 367-377.]) and the mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form C22(4) chains, but with no direction-specific inter­actions between adjacent chains. Compound (VIII) is the penta­fluoro­phenyl analogue of (VII) and the mol­ecules are again linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, but now forming cyclic R66(12) hexa­mers having exact [\overline{3}] (S6) symmetry (Ferguson et al., 1995[Ferguson, G., Carroll, C. D., Glidewell, C., Zakaria, C. M. & Lough, A. J. (1995). Acta Cryst. B51, 367-377.]).

5. Synthesis and crystallization

A sample of the title compound (I)[link] was a gift from CAD Pharma, Bengaluru, India. Colourless blocks were grown by slow evaporation at room temperature of a solution in methanol, m.p. 478 K.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. All H atoms were located in difference maps. The H atoms bonded to C atoms were then treated as riding atoms in geometrically idealized position with C—H distances of 0.93 Å (aromatic and heteroaromatic) or 0.98 Å (aliphatic CH) and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). For the hydroxyl H atom H1A, the atomic coordinates were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O), giving an O—H distance of 0.84 (2) Å. The analysis of variance reported a large value of K, 3.187, for the group of 252 very weak reflections having Fc/Fc(max) in the range 0.000 < Fc/Fc(max) < 0.005.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
