The geometrical parameters for the title compound, C16H13ClO2, are normal. Packing in a non-centrosymmetric which is consistent with the non-zero second harmonic generation response, may be influenced by a C—H⋯O interaction.
Comment
The title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), was prepared as part of our ongoing studies (Indira et al., 2002; Harrison et al., 2005, 2006) of the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of chalcone derivatives (Uchida et al., 1998). The non-centrosymmetric, polar of (I) is consistent with its significant second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 0.8 times that of urea (Watson et al., 1993).
The geometrical parameters for (I) are normal (Allen et al., 1987) and consistent with those of other recently reported chalcone derivatives (Rosli et al., 2006; Patil et al., 2006). Compound (I) complements several closely related molecules with other 4-substituents X instead of Cl (see scheme), namely (II) with X = OH (Moorthi et al., 2005), (III) with X = CH3 (Wang et al., 2005), (IV) with X = H (Rabinovich & Schmidt, 1970), and (V) with X = OCH3 (Zheng et al., 1992). The space groups for (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V) are Pna21, Pbca, P21/c, P21 and P212121, respectively. The distribution of space groups for this small family is thus consistent with the observation that are prone to crystallize as non-centrosymmetric structures (Uchida et al., 1998).
The molecule of (I) is distinctly twisted about the C6—C7 and the C7—C8 bonds (Table 1), as was also seen for 2-bromo-1-chlorophenyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (Harrison et al., 2006). The dihedral angle between the benzene ring mean planes (C1–C6 and C10–C15) in (I) is 21.82 (6)°. Cl1, C7 and O1 deviate from the former mean plane by 0.031 (3), 0.022 (3) and 0.346 (3) Å, respectively. The deviations of C9, O2 and C16 from the latter plane are 0.087 (3), 0.038 (3) and 0.049 (3) Å, respectively.
A PLATON (Spek, 2003) analysis of (I) indicated a possible intramolecular C9—H9⋯O1 interaction (Table 2) that might help to maintain the molecular conformation. A similar interaction was proposed for 3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (Rosli et al., 2006).
An intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond (Fig. 2) appears to help to assemble the molecules of (I) into helical stacks about the 21 screw axis, propagating in the polar [001] direction.
Experimental
4-Chloroacetophenone in ethanol (1.54 g, 0.01 mol) (25 ml) was mixed with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) in ethanol (25 ml) and the mixture was treated with an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (20 ml, 5%). This mixture was stirred well and left to stand for 24 hr. The resulting crude solid mass was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol, yielding clear blocks of (I). Yield: 90%, m.p.: 380 K, analysis found (calc.) for C16H13ClO2, C 70.5 (70.4%); H 4.72 (4.76%).

H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier) or 1.5Ueq(methyl carrier). The methyl group was rotated to fit the electron density.

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. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
