In the title compound, C6H5IN2O2, the nitro group is disordered over two sets of sites, each with 0.5 occupancy, and the amino N atom is pyramidal. The molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of three-centre N—H⋯(O)2 hydrogen bonds involving alternative pairs of O-atom sites and two-centre N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the pyramidal amino group.
Comment
We have recently reported the molecular and supramolecular structures of a number of iodonitroanilines, no two of which exhibit in their supramolecular structures the same pattern of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, iodo–nitro interactions or aromatic π–π stacking interactions (Garden, Glidewell et al., 2001; McWilliam et al., 2001, Garden et al., 2002).
Iodination of 3-nitroaniline using a solution of K[ICl2] in methanol as the iodinating agent (Larsen et al., 1956; Garden, Torres et al., 2001) gave, in addition to 2-iodo-5-nitroaniline, (I), and 2,4-diiodo-3-nitroaniline, (II), a third compound in very low yield. This is presumably an intermediate in the formation of (II), viz. either 2-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (III), or more plausibly 4-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (IV), but it had not been isolated when the structures of (I) and (II) were reported (Garden et al., 2002). This intermediate has now been isolated and crystallized and we report here the molecular and supramolecular structures of this product, 4-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (IV). The supramolecular structure proves to be different from any of those adopted by its isomers (I), (V) and (VI).
The O atoms of the nitro group in (IV) are disordered over two sets of sites of equal occupancy (Fig. 1). The nitro groups defined by atoms O3A and O3B on the one hand and O3C and O3D on the other are both twisted out of the plane of the aryl ring by ca 13° and ca 35°, respectively, such that the dihedral angle between the two nitro-group planes is ca 48°. However, despite their equal occupancies, the occupation of the two alternative sets of sites cannot be entirely random. In order to avoid a very short contact of 2.518 (12) Å between atoms O3C and O3D in the molecules at (x, y, z) and (x, 1 + y, z), respectively, adjacent molecular sites related by translation along [010] cannot both accommodate the nitro-group orientation involving atoms O3C and O3D. Since both orientations must occur with equal frequency in a given [010] stack, there must be a strict alternation along [010] of the occupation of the two alternative sets of sites. Hence, there must be perfect correlation of the occupancies along any one [010] stack, although without any necessary correlation of the occupancies in any given [010] stack with those in the neighbouring stacks. Accordingly, the structure is correctly described in terms of the present with Z = 4, rather than of a larger with Z = 8.
The amino N atom is pyramidal, as judged by the locations of the corresponding H atoms found from difference maps. Consistent with this, the C1—N1 distance of 1.388 (5) Å is typical of Caryl—NH2 distances involving pyramidal nitrogen (mean value 1.394 Å and lower quartile value 1.385 Å; Allen et al., 1987), rather than of those involving planar N (mean value 1.355 Å and upper quartile value 1.372 Å). The remaining bond distances show no unusual values.
The supramolecular structure of compound (IV) is determined by a combination of an asymmetric three-centre N—H⋯(O)2 hydrogen bond and a two-centre N—H⋯N hydrogen bond (Table 1). However, X—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds (X is C or N), intermolecular iodo–nitro interactions and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are all absent.
The amino atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H1A, to O atoms in the molecule at ( + x, − y, + z), either to both O3A and O3B in one orientation of the nitro group, or to both O3C and O3D in the other orientation. No matter which pair of O-atom sites is occupied, the molecules at (x, y, z) and ( + x, − y, + z) are linked by a nearly planar three-centre interaction. Propagation of this interaction then produces a C(7)[R12(4)] (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain of rings running parallel to the [101] direction and generated by the n-glide plane at y = (Fig. 2).
The [101] chains are linked by the nearly linear two-centre N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, in which amino atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor, via atom H1B, to atom N1 in the molecule at ( − x, + y, − z), thereby forming a C(2) chain running parallel to the [010] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (, y, ) (Fig. 3). The combination of the [101] and [010] chains generates a (10) sheet (Fig. 4) in the form of a (4,4)-net (Batten & Robson, 1998).
It is of interest to compare very briefly the rather simple supramolecular structure of compound (IV) with those of the isomers (I), (V) and (VI). In (I), hydrogen-bonded dimers are linked into sheets by two-centre iodo–nitro interactions, and these sheets are linked into a three-dimensional framework by aromatic π–π stacking interactions (Garden et al., 2002). In compound (V), where Z′ = 2, each of the two independent molecules forms sheets via a combination of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and two-centre iodo–nitro interactions, but there are no direction-specific interactions between the two types of sheet (Garden et al., 2002). Compound (VI) forms two polymorphs and in each a combination of hydrogen bonds and iodo–nitro interactions generates sheets, which are linked by aromatic π–π stacking interactions into bilayers in the triclinic polymorph and into a three-dimensional framework in the orthorhombic polymorph (McWilliam et al., 2001). It is striking that iodo–nitro interactions are present in the structures of each of compounds (I), (V) and (VI), but that these interactions are absent from the structure of (IV).
Experimental
For the preparation of (IV), a solution of K[ICl2] (2.5 ml, 2 M) in water was added to a solution of 3-nitroaniline (10 mmol) in MeOH (18 ml). The reaction mixture was left at room temperature for a few hours, then heated to boiling and diluted with water (10 ml). The precipitate which formed on cooling was collected, washed with cold 50% aqueous methanol, and recrystallized from 50% aqueous methanol to give a cocrystallized mixture of 2-iodo-5-nitroaniline, (I), and 4-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (IV). These compounds were separated by on silica gel using hexane–CH2Cl2 (1:1 v/v) as eluant. 4-Iodo-3-nitroaniline (0.60 g, 45% yield based on K[ICl2]; m.p. 414–415 K) was recrystallized from aqueous methanol. 1H NMR (CDCl3/DMSO-d6, δ): 4.90 (2H, br, s, NH2), 6.62 (1H, H6, dd, J = 2.7 and 8.6 Hz), 7.20 (1H, H2, d, J = 2.7 Hz), 7.62 (1H, H5, d, J = 8.7 Hz); 13C NMR (CDCl3/DMSO-d6, δ): 67.6 (C—I), 110.7 (CH), 119.6 (CH), 141.1 (CH), 148.5 (C—NH2), 153.1 (C—NO2).

The P21/n was uniquely assigned from the All H atoms were located from difference maps. H atoms bonded to C atoms were treated as riding atoms along the bisectors of the external angles of the aryl ring, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å. The sites of the H atoms bonded to atom N1 showed clearly the pyramidal geometry of the amino group; these H atoms were allowed to ride at the sites found from the difference maps, with the N—H distances constrained to 0.88 Å. For all H atoms, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N). It was found necessary to assign equal anisotropic displacement parameters to the partial O-atom sites in order to achieve satisfactory refinements of the O atoms. When the site-occupancy factors of the O atoms in the alternative orientations of the nitro group were then refined, they gave values of 0.51 (3) and 0.49 (3); these occupancies were all thereafter fixed at 0.50.

We have recently reported the molecular and supramolecular structures of a number of iodo-nitroanilines, no two of which exhibit in their supramolecular structures the same pattern of N—H···O hydrogen bonds, iodo···nitro interactions or aromatic π–π stacking interactions (Garden, Glidewell et al., 2001; McWilliam et al., 2001, Garden et al., 2002).
Iodination of 3-nitroaniline, using a solution of K[ICl2] in methanol as the iodinating agent (Larsen et al., 1956; Garden, Torres et al., 2001) gave, in addition to 2-iodo-5-nitroaniline, (I), and 2,4-diiodo-3-nitroaniline, (II), a third compound, in very low yield. This is presumably an intermediate in the formation of (II), either 2-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (III), or, more plausibly, 4-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (IV), but it had not been isolated when the structures of (I) and (II) were reported (Garden et al., 2002). This compound has now been isolated and crystallized, and we report here the molecular and supramolecular structures of this product, 4-iodo-3-nitroaniline, (IV). The supramolecular structure proves to be different from any of those adopted by its isomers (I), (V) and (VI). \sch
The O atoms of the nitro group in (IV) are disordered over two sets of sites of equal occupancy (Fig. 1). The nitro groups defined by atoms O3A and O3B, on the one hand, and O3C and O3D on the other, are both twisted out of the plane of the aryl ring by ca 13 and ca 35°, respectively, such that the dihedral angle between the two nitro-group planes is ca 48°. However, despite their equal occupancies, the occupation of the two alternative sets of sites cannot be entirely random. In order to avoid a very short contact of 2.518 (12) Å between atoms O3C and O3D in the molecules at (x, y, z) and (x, 1 + y, z), respectively, adjacent molecular sites related by translation along [010] cannot both accommodate the nitro-group orientation involving atoms O3C and O3D. Since both orientations must occur with equal frequency in a given [010] stack, there must be a strict alternation along [010] of the occupation of the two alternative sets of sites. Hence, there must be perfect correlation of the occupancies along any one [010] stack, although without any necessary correlation of the occupancies in any given [010] stack with those in the neighbouring stacks. Accordingly, the structure is correctly described in terms of the present unit cell with Z = 4, rather than of a larger unit cell with Z = 8.
The amino N atom is pyramidal, as judged by the locations of the corresponding H atoms found from difference maps. Consistent with this, the C1—N1 distance of 1.388 (5) Å is typical of C(aryl)-NH2 distances involving pyramidal N (mean value 1.394 Å, lower quartile value 1.385 Å; Allen et al., 1987), rather than of those involving planar N (mean value 1.355 Å, upper quartile value 1.372 Å). The remaining bond distances show no unusual values.
The supramolecular structure of compound (IV) is determined by a combination of an asymmetric three-centre N—H···(O)2 hydrogen bond and a two-centre N—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1). However, X—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds (X is C or N), intermolecular iodo···nitro interactions and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are all absent.
The amino atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H1A, to O atoms in the molecule at (1/2 + x, 3/2 − y, 1/2 + z), either to both O3A and O3B in one orientation of the nitro group, or to both O3C and O3D in the other orientation. No matter which pair of O sites is occupied, the molecules at (x, y, z) and (1/2 + x, 3/2 − y, 1/2 + z) are linked by a nearly-planar three-centre interaction. Propagation of this interaction then produces a C(7)[R12(4)] (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain of rings running parallel to the [101] direction and generated by the n-glide plane at y = 3/4 (Fig. 2).
The [101] chains are linked by the nearly-linear two-centre N—H···N hydrogen bond, in which amino atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor, via atom H1B, to atom N1 in the molecule at (1/2 − x, 1/2 + y, 3/2 − z), thereby forming a C(2) chain running parallel to the [010] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/4, y, 3/4) (Fig. 3). The combination of the [101] and [010] chains generates a (101) sheet (Fig. 4) in the form of a (4,4) net (Batten & Robson, 1998).
It is of interest to compare very briefly the rather simple supramolecular structure of compound (IV) with those of the isomers (I), (V) and (VI). In (I), hydrogen-bonded dimers are linked into sheets by a two-centre iodo···nitro interactions, and these sheets are linked into a three-dimensional framework by aromatic π–π stacking interactions (Garden et al., 2002). In compound (V), where Z' = 2, each of the two independent molecules forms sheets via a combination of N—H···O hydrogen bonds and two-centre iodo···nitro interactions, but there are no direction-specific interactions between the two types of sheet (Garden et al., 2002). Compound (VI) forms two polymorphs, and in each a combination of hydrogen bonds and iodo···nitro interactions generates sheets, which are linked by aromatic π–π stacking interactions into bilayers in the triclinic polymorph and into a three-dimensional framework in the orthorhombic polymorph (McWilliam et al., 2001). It is striking that iodo···nitro interactions are present in the structures of each of compounds (I), (V) and (VI), but that these interactions are absent from the structure of (IV).
