In the title adduct, C6H4Cl3N·C6H3N3O7, the two benzene rings are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 1.19 (1)° and an inter-ring centroid–centroid separation of 4.816 (2) Å. The is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯Onitro hydrogen bonds, giving a chain structure. In addition, there are phenol–nitro O—H⋯O interactions.

2,4,6-Trichloroaniline (0.19 g, 1.0 mmol) and picric acid (0.23 g, 1.0 mmol) were dissolved in MeOH-CH2Cl2 (3:1) and the mixture was kept at room temperature for one week. Red crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained.
The O– and N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (picric acid), was primarily used to manufacture explosives and is also used as an intermediate in dye manufacturing. The crystal structures of a large number of picrate salts and picric acid complexes have been studied to determine the conformational features and to understand charge transfer processes (Li et al., 2009; Nagata et al., 1995; Sivaramkumar et al., 2010, Smith et al., 2004). We herein report the 1:1 cocrystal structure of 2,4,6-trichloroaniline and picric acid C6H4Cl3N . C6H3N3O7 (I) (Fig. 1). In the title adduct, the two phenyl rings are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 1.19 (1)° and an inter-ring centroid separation of 4.816 (2) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H···Onitro hydrogen bonds giving a one-dimensional chain structure and in addition, intramolecular N—H···Cl and phenol O—H···O(nitro) interactions are observed (Table 1).
