(Received 28 October 2004; accepted 4 January 2005; online 12 February 2005)

The title compound, C21H25NO, is a member of a well known family of liquid crystals (4-oxy-4′-cyano­biphenyls, OCBs) and packs in lamellar-type bilayers in the solid state, through CN⋯H hydrogen bonds. This packing type is analogous to that found of other members of the n-OCB homologous series, viz. 7-OCB and 9-OCB.

Comment

The OCB family of compounds (4-n-alkyloxy-4′-cyano­biphenyls) are well known and well utilized for their thermotropic (melt) liquid crystal behaviour, with the members in the range n = 5–8 forming both smectic A and nematic phases. Since these molecules readily order themselves to some degree in the liquid crystal phases, we were interested in probing structural mechanisms during the crystallization

[Scheme 1]
event. On cooling the systems from the higher-temperature melt through the different liquid crystal stages, through to crystallization, the long-range d-spacing was tracked by in situ powder diffraction. The aim was to understand the molecular–molecular associations, through the various stages of assembly, before the system crystallizes. During the course of this work, a number of new crystal structures were ­encountered, as identified by X-ray powder diffraction patterns. To exploit as much structural information as possible, attempts at growing single crystals with diffraction patterns matching those of the unknown crystalline phases were made.

The title compound, (I)[link], is the third identified polymorph of 8-OCB (4-octyloxy-4′-cyano­biphenyl polymorph), and packs in the same arrangement as polymorphs of 7-OCB (Hori, Koma et al., 1996[Hori, K., Koma, Y., Kurosaki, M., Itoh, K., Uekusa, H., Takenaka, Y. & Ohashi, Y. (1996). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 69, 891-897.]) and 9-OCB (Hori & Wu, 1999[Hori, K. & Wu, H. (1999). Liq. Cryst. 26, 37-43.]). The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1[link] and selected geometric parameters are given in Table 1[link]. The two rings of the biphenyl group are rotated by ∼42°, and the C15—C14—O1—C11 torsion angle is 168.7 (2)°. The aliphatic chain is in a rigid conformation, apparently to aid efficient packing. The molecular packing, which is rich in CN⋯H hydrogen bonds, is shown in Fig. 2[link]. A number of notable features are apparent from the packing arrangement. Molecules pack head-to-head, forming bilayers (ca 36 Å in length) extending along the a axis. Each molecule forms four hydrogen bonds (two symmetry unique) with two head-on molecules. Pairs of hydrogen bonds (centrosymmetric dimers) in turn form catemeric chains along the b axis. The head-to-head packing of molecules in the a direction has a lateral displacement of 1.9 Å relative to the mean planes of the pairs of terminal arene groups. A second, identical, set of catemeric chains (not shown in Fig. 2[link]) extends in the b direction but at ca 45° to the first set.

The two unique CN⋯H hydrogen bonds are N1⋯H7 and N1⋯H3 (Table 2[link]), as shown in Fig. 2[link], with C1—N1⋯H7 and C1—N1⋯H3 angles of 135 and 131°. The C1—C2 bond is unusually long for a Csp2—Csp bond [1.455 (4) Å], possibly as a result of the π-electron withdrawing cyano group and its associated hydrogen bonds.

Polymorphs of 7-OCB (Hori, Koma et al., 1996[Hori, K., Koma, Y., Kurosaki, M., Itoh, K., Uekusa, H., Takenaka, Y. & Ohashi, Y. (1996). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 69, 891-897.]) and 9-OCB (Hori & Wu, 1999[Hori, K. & Wu, H. (1999). Liq. Cryst. 26, 37-43.]) also display this packing configuration, with CN⋯H hydrogen-bond lengths over the narrow range 2.68–2.76 Å. Another polymorph of 8-OCB (Hori, Kurosaki et al., 1996[Hori, K., Kurosaki, M., Wu, H. & Itoh, K. (1996). Acta Cryst. C52, 1751-1754.]; Rajnikant et al., 2000[Rajnikant, V. K., Gupta, R., Gupta, A., Kumar, R. K., Bamezai, R. K., Sharma, N. K. & Varghese, B. (2000). Kristallografiya, 45, 98-102.]) also has layered-type packing, but in this configuration dimers are again formed through CN⋯H interactions, which extend only to tetramers. In this form, the direction of adjacent pairs of molecules at the interface is different from that in (I), i.e. chains in the a direction are antiparallel. In a final type of polymorph displayed by 7-OCB (Hori et al., 1995[Hori, K., Koma, Y., Uchide, A. & Ohashi, Y. (1995). Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. Sci. Technol. Sect. A, 225, 15-22.]) and 8-OCB (Hori, Kurosaki et al., 1996[Hori, K., Kurosaki, M., Wu, H. & Itoh, K. (1996). Acta Cryst. C52, 1751-1754.]), another mixed bilayer structure is formed, but notably in this case the CN⋯H dimer is absent; a CN group is close not to another CN group but to the biphenyl moiety. The O atom is utilized forming O⋯H hydrogen bonds along with CN⋯H hydrogen bonds.

The number and structural variety of polymorphs (at least five known) exhibited by the n-OCB series of compounds (the structural identity of some is still unknown) is typical of compounds that exhibit liquid crystalline behaviour. The apparent ease at which one form might be crystallized over another is caused by weak and competing intermolecular interactions.

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.
