In 2-iodo-N-(2-nitrophenyl)benzamide, C13H9IN2O3, the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework structure by a combination of a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, and iodo–nitro, carbonyl–carbonyl and aromatic π–π stacking interactions. In the isomeric compound N-(2-iodophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide, the framework structure is built from N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds and an iodo–nitro interaction.
Comment
The isomeric benzamides 2-iodo-N-(2-nitrophenyl)benzamide, (I), and N-(2-iodophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide, (II), offer the possibility of a wide variety of potential intermolecular interactions. These include N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, each with two possible types of acceptor O atoms (amide and nitro), C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds (again with two distinct acceptor rings), aromatic π–π stacking interactions, and two- or three-centre iodo–nitro interactions. We have recently reported that the supramolecular aggregation of 2-iodo-N-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide, (III), depends on a combination of N—H⋯O(carbonyl) and C—H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen bonds, together with weak π–π stacking interactions (Garden et al., 2005), and we now report the supramolecular structures for the isomers (I) and (II).
The molecules in (I) and (II) (Figs. 1 and 2, respectively) adopt conformations which have no internal symmetry, as shown by the leading torsion angles (Table 1). Accordingly, the molecules of (I) and (II) have no internal symmetry, and hence they are chiral. Compound (I) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric , so that equal numbers of both enantiomers are present in each crystal, but compound (II) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric P212121; hence, in the absence of any inversion only one is present in a given crystal of compound (II). The bond lengths and angles show no unusual values.
The supramolecular structures formed by isomers (I) and (II) are both three-dimensional, but they are different not only in their detailed construction but also in the types of direction-specific intermolecular interactions which are active.
In compound (I) (Fig. 1), there is an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond (Table 2), but the N—H bond plays no role in the intermolecular aggregation. This is instead determined by a combination of a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, a two-centre iodo–nitro interaction and two aromatic π–π stacking interactions, which combine to generate a three-dimensional framework, the formation of which is readily analysed in terms of three one-dimensional substructures.
For two of the substructures, the basic building block is a hydrogen-bonded dimer. Aryl atom C25 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to amide atom O17 in the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), so generating a centrosymmetric R22(14) dimer centred at (, , ) (Fig. 3). These dimers are linked into two distinct chains by aromatic π–π stacking interactions.
Because of the near planarity of the molecules in compound (I), the C11–C16 ring at (x, y, z) is nearly parallel to the C21–C26 rings in the molecules at (−x, −y, 1 − z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z), with dihedral angles between adjacent planes of only 5.2 (2)°. For the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, −y, 1 − z), the corresponding ring-centroid separation is 3.827 (2) Å, with an interplanar spacing of ca 3.49 Å and a ring offset of ca 1.57 Å. The molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, −y, 1 − z) are components of the hydrogen-bonded dimers centred at (, , ) and (−, −, ), respectively, so that propagation by inversion of these two interactions generates a π-stacked chain of rings running parallel to the [110] direction (Fig. 4). For the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z), which are components of the hydrogen-bonded dimers centred at (, , ) and (−, , ), respectively, the ring-centroid separation is 3.808 (2) Å, with an interplanar separation of ca 3.52 Å and a ring offset of ca 1.45 Å. This interaction thus generates a π-stacked chain of rings running parallel to the [100] direction (Fig. 5).
The final i = 3.4101 (16) Å and C12—I12⋯O22i = 159.71 (6)° [symmetry code: (i) x, y, −1 + z], so forming a C(9) chain (Starbuck et al., 1999) running parallel to the [001] direction (Fig. 6). The combination of [100], [110] and [001] chains then generates a three-dimensional structure, which is augmented by a carbonyl–carbonyl interaction of type II (Allen et al., 1998). The carbonyl groups in the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z) are strictly parallel, with O17⋯C17ii = 2.976 (2) Å and C17—O17⋯C17ii = 92.8 (2)° [symmetry code: (ii) −x, 1 − y, 1 − z].
depends solely on a two-centre iodo–nitro interaction, with I12⋯O22The molecules of compound (II) (Fig. 2) are linked into a three-dimensional framework structure by a combination of N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds (Table 3) and a two-centre iodo–nitro interaction. The formation of this framework is readily analysed in terms of three one-dimensional substructures. In the first amide atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to carbonyl atom O17 in the molecule at (− + y, − y, 1 − z), so forming the C(4) (Bernstein et al., 1995) motif characteristic of simple running parallel to the [100] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (x, , ) (Fig. 7).
The second x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to amide atom O17 in the molecule at (1 − x, − + y, − z), while atom C24 at (1 − x, − + y, − z) in turn acts as donor to atom O17 at (x, 1 + y, z), so forming a C(8) chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 8). At the same time, atoms I22 at (x, y, z) and O22 at (x, 1 + y, z) form a two-centre iodo–nitro interaction, with I⋯Oiii = 3.3677 (17) Å and C—I⋯Oiii = 159.71 (6)° [symmetry code: (iii) x, 1 + y, z], so forming a C(9) chain (Starbuck et al., 1999). The combination of these two interactions then generates a chain of edge-fused R33(19) rings generated by the 21 screw axis along (, y, ) (Fig. 8).
arises from the co-operative action of two fairly weak interactions. Aryl atom C24 in the molecule at (The third one-dimensional is built from a single C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bond. Aryl atom C23 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to the C11–C16 ring in the molecule at ( − x, 1 − y, + z), so forming a chain running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (, , z) (Fig. 9). The combination of the chains along [100], [010] and [001] suffices to generate a continuous three-dimensional framework.
in (II)In conclusion, for the two isomeric title compounds, (I) and (II), the difference between their molecular structures can be regarded as a simple reversal of the amidic function –NH—CO– between (I) and (II), yet they manifest very different ranges of direction-specific intermolecular interactions with consequently very different supramolecular structures.

The isomeric benzamides N-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-iodobenzamide, (I), and N-(2-iodophenyl)-2-nitrobenzamide, (II), offer the possibility of a wide variety of potential intermolecular interactions. These include N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds, each with two possible types of O acceptor atoms (amide and nitro), C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds (again with two distinct acceptor rings), aromatic π–π stacking interactions, and two- or three-centre iodo···nitro interactions. We have recently reported that the supramolecular aggregation of N-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-iodobenzamide, (III), depends on a combination of N—H···O(carbonyl) and C—H···O(nitro) hydrogen bonds, together with weak π–π stacking interactions (Garden et al., 2005), and we now report the supramolecular structures for the isomers (I) and (II).
The molecules in compounds (I) and (II) (Figs. 1 and 2, respectively) adopt conformations which have no internal symmetry, as shown by the leading torsion angles (Table 1). Accordingly, the molecules of compounds (I) and (II) have no internal symmetry, and hence they are chiral. Compound (I) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P1, so that equal numbers of both enantiomers are present in each crystal, but compound (II) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P212121; hence, in the absence of any inversion twinning, only one enantiomer is present in a given crystal of compound (II). The bond lengths and angles show no unusual values.
The supramolecular structures formed by the isomers (I) and (II) are both three-dimensional, but they are different not only in their detailed construction but also in the types of direction-specific intermolecular interactions which are active.
In compound (I) (Fig. 1), there is an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 2), but the N—H bond plays no role in the intermolecular aggregation. This is instead determined by a combination of a C—H···O hydrogen bond, a two-centre iodo···nitro interaction and two aromatic π–π stacking interactions, which combine to generate a three-dimensional framework, the formation of which is readily analysed in terms of three one-dimensional sub-structures.
For two of the sub-structures, the basic building block is a hydrogen-bonded dimer. Aryl atom C25 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to amidic atom O17 in the molecule at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), so generating a centrosymmetric R22(14) dimer centred at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) (Fig. 3). These dimers are linked into two distinct chains by aromatic π–π stacking interactions.
Because of the near-planarity of the molecules in compound (I), the C11–C16 ring at (x, y, z) is nearly parallel to the C21–C26 rings in the molecules at (−x, −y, 1 − z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z), with dihedral angles between adjacent planes of only 5.2 (2)°. For the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, −y, 1 − z), the corresponding ring-centroid separation is 3.827 (2) Å, with an interplanar spacing of ca 3.49 Å and a ring offset of ca 1.57 Å. The molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, −y, 1 − z) are components of the hydrogen-bonded dimers centred at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) and (−1/2, −1/2, 1/2), respectively, so that propagation by inversion of these two interactions generates a π-stacked chain of rings running parallel to the [110] direction (Fig. 4). For the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z), which are components of the hydrogen-bonded dimers centred at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) and (−1/2, 1/2, 1/2), respectively, the ring-centroid separation is 3.808 (2) Å, with an interplanar separation of ca 3.52 Å and a ring offset of ca 1.45 Å. This interaction thus generates a π-stacked chain of rings running parallel to the [100] direction (Fig. 5).
The final sub-structure depends solely on a two-centre iodo ···nitro interaction, with I12···O22i 3.4101 (16) Å and C12—I12···O22i 159.71 (6)° [symmetry code: (i) x, y, −1 + z], so forming a C(9) chain (Starbuck et al., 1999) running parallel to the [001] direction (Fig. 6). The combination of [100], [110] and [001] chains then generates a three-dimensional structure, which is augmented by a carbonyl···carbonyl interaction of type (II) (Allen et al., 1998). The carbonyl groups in the molecules at (x, y, z) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z) are strictly parallel, with O17···C17ii 2.976 (2) Å and C17—O17···C17ii 92.8 (2)° [symmetry code: (ii) −x, 1 − y, 1 − z].
The molecules of compound (II) (Fig. 2) are linked into a three-dimensional framework structure by a combination of N—H···O, C—H···O and C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds (Table 3) and a two-centre iodo···nitro interaction. The formation of this framework is readily analysed in terms of three one-dimensional sub-structures. In the first sub-structure, the amide atom N1 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to carbonyl atom O17 in the molecule at (−1/2 + y, 3/2 − y, 1 − z), so forming the C(4) (Bernstein et al., 1995) motif characteristic of simple amides running parallel to the [100] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (x, 3/4, 1/2) (Fig. 7).
The second sub-structure arises from the cooperative action of two fairly weak interactions. Aryl atom C24 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to amide atom O17 in the molecule at (1 − x, −1/2 + y, 3/2 − z), while atom C24 at (1 − x, −1/2 + y, 3/2 − z) in turn acts as donor to atom O17 at (x, 1 + y, z), so forming a C(8) chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. N3 Please supply this figure). At the same time, atoms I22 at (x, y, z) and O22 at (x, 1 + y, z) form a two-centre iodo ···nitro interaction, with I···Oiii 3.3677 (17) Å and C—I···Oiii 159.71 (6)° [symmetry code: (iii) x, 1 + y, z], so forming a C(9) chain (Starbuck et al., 1999). The combination of these two interactions then generates a chain of edge-fused R33(19) rings generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/2, y, 3/4) (Fig. 8).
The third one-dimensional sub-structure in (II) is built from a single C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bond. Aryl atom C23 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to the C11–C16 ring in the molecule at (1/2 − x, 1 − y, 1/2 + z), so forming a chain running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/4, 1/2, z) (Fig. 9). The combination of the chains along [100], [010] and [001] suffices to generate a continuous three-dimensional framework.
In conclusion, for the two isomeric compounds, (I) and (II), the difference between their molecular structures can be regarded as a simple reversal of the amidic function –NH—CO– between (I) and (II), yet they manifest very different ranges of direction-specific intermolecular interactions with consequently very different supramolecular structures.
