Comment top

We have newly reported the X-ray single-crystal structure of 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (Fan et al., 2008). In this paper, we report the X-ray single-crystal structure of 3,5-dichloro-2- hydroxybenzaldehyde.

The molecular structure of (I) is illustrated in Fig. 1. The selected bond distances and bond angles are normal. Different from 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, there is only one crystallographically independent molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular geometry of slicylaldehyde unit of (I) is comparable with that of 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

In the crystal packing of (I), there are two sets of molecules with the dihedral angle of 6.52 (2) ° and molecules in every layer are linked by intermolecular CO—H···O hydrogen bondings (Fig. 2). A layer packing structure is formed with the mean interlayer separation of 3.428 (2) Å (Fig. 3.). However, no ππ stacking interactions can be observed in (I), which is different from those in 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

Special details top

Experimental. The structure was solved by direct methods (Bruker, 2000) and successive difference Fourier syntheses.

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.
