Molecules of the title compound, C13H8INO4, are linked into complex sheets by two C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and one two-centre iodo–nitro interaction.
Comment
We have recently reported the molecular and supramolecular structures of a wide range of iodoaryl–nitroaryl compounds, including et al., 2002), benzylideneanilines (Glidewell, Howie et al., 2002; Wardell et al., 2002), benzylanilines (Glidewell, Low et al., 2002; Glidewell, Low, Skakle, Wardell & Wardell, 2004; Ferguson et al., 2005), phenylhydrazones (Glidewell, Low, Skakle & Wardell, 2004; Glidewell et al., 2003), 1,4-diaryl-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadienes (Glidewell, Low, Skakle & Wardell, 2005), N-(iodophenyl)nitrophthalimides (Glidewell, Low, Skakle, Wardell & Wardell, 2005) and benzoylhydrazones (Glidewell, Low & Wardell, 2005). We have now extended this investigation to include the title ester, 4-nitrophenyl 2-iodobenzoate, (I).
(KellyWithin the molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), the central ester fragment between atoms C11 and C21 is effectively planar, but the iodinated and nitrated aryl rings make dihedral angles with this plane of 39.9 (2) and 42.7 (2)°, respectively, probably in order to minimize the repulsive intramolecular contacts involving the polarized atom O17. The nitro group makes a dihedral angle of 7.4 (2)° with the adjacent aryl ring. The bond distances and inter-bond angles show no unusual values.
The molecules are linked into complex sheets, the formation of which is readily analysed in terms of two one-dimensional substructures. In the simpler of the two substructures, atom C14 in the iodinated ring of the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to carbonyl atom O17 in the molecule at ( + x, − y, − + z), thereby forming a C(7) (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain running parallel to the [10] direction and generated by the n-glide plane at y = 0.75 (Fig. 2).
The second x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to nitro atom O42 in the molecule at ( − x, + y, − z), so forming a C(6) chain running parallel to the [010] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (, y, ) (Fig. 3). In addition, atom I12 in the molecule at (x, y, z) forms a short contact with atom O41 in the molecule at (x, 1 + y, z), with I⋯Oi = 3.240 (2) Å and C—I⋯Oi = 169.8 (2)° [symmetry code: (i) x, 1 + y, z], thus generating by translation a C(11) (Starbuck et al., 1999) chain, also running parallel to the [010] direction. The combination of these two interactions then generates a [010] chain of edge-fused R33(17) rings (Fig. 3).
is built from a combination of a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and an iodo–nitro interaction. Atom C26 in the nitrated ring of the molecule at (The combination of the [010] and [10] chains generates a (101) sheet in the form of a (4,4)-net. If just the C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are considered, this sheet is built from two types of R44(38) ring (Fig. 4).
Experimental
A solution containing equimolar quantities (2 mmol of each) of 4-nitrophenol and 2-iodobenzoyl chloride in chloroform (50 ml) was heated under reflux for 1 h; the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solid residue was recrystallized from ethanol to yield crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

We have recently reported the molecular and supramolecular structures of a wide range of iodoaryl–nitroaryl compounds, including sulfonamides (Kelly et al., 2002), benzylideneanilines (Glidewell, Howie et al., 2002; Wardell et al., 2002), benzylanilines (Glidewell, Low et al., 2002; Glidewell, Low, Skakle, Wardell & Wardell, 2004; Ferguson et al., 2005), phenylhydrazones (Glidewell, Low, Skakle & Wardell, 2004; Glidewell et al., 2003), 1,4-diaryl-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadienes (Glidewell, Low, Skakle & Wardell, 2005), N-(iodophenyl)nitrophthalimides (Glidewell, Low, Skakle, Wardell & Wardell, 2005) and benzoylhydrazones (Glidewell, Low & Wardell, 2005). We have now extended this investigation to include the title ester 4-nitrophenyl 2-iodobenzoate, (I).
Within the molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), the central ester fragment between atoms C11 and C21 is effectively planar, but the iodinated and nitrated aryl rings make dihedral angles with this plane of 39.9 (2) and 42.7 (2)°, respectively, probably in order to minimize the repulsive intramolecular contacts involving the polarized atom O17: the nitro group makes a dihedral angle of 7.4 (2)° with the adjacent aryl ring. The bond distances and inter-bond angles show no unusual values.
The molecules are linked into complex sheets, whose formation is readily analysed in terms of two one-dimensional substructures. In the simpler of the two substructures, atom C14 in the iodinated ring of the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to carbonyl atom O17 in the molecule at (1/2 + x, 1.5 − y, −1/2 + z), thereby forming a C(7) (Bernstein et al., 1995) chain running parallel to the [101] direction and generated by the n-glide plane at y = 0.75 (Fig. 2).
The second substructure is built from a combination of a C—H···O hydrogen bond and an iodo–nitro interaction. Atom C26 in the nitrated ring of the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to nitro atom O42 in the molecule at (1/2 − x, 1/2 + y, 1.5 − z), so forming a C(6) chain running parallel to the [010] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/4, y, 3/4) (Fig. 3). In addition, atom I12 in the molecule at (x, y, z) forms a short contact with atom O41 in the molecule at (x, 1 + y, z), with I···Oi = 3.240 (2) Å and C—I···Oi = 169.8 (2)° [symmetry code: (i) x, 1 + y, z)], thus generating by translation a C(11) (Starbuck et al., 1999) chain, also running parallel to the [010] direction. The combination of these two interactions then generates a [010] chain of edge-fused R33(17) rings (Fig. 3)
The combination of the [010] and [101] chains generates a (101) sheet in the form of a (4,4)-net: if just the C—H···O hydrogen bonds are considered, this sheet is built from two types of R44(38) ring (Fig. 4).
