In the structure of the title compound, C14H9Cl3I2, which is the 4-iodophenyl analogue of the insecticide DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane], isomorphism between the two compounds has been confirmed. In the molecule, the dihedral angle between the planes of the two benzene rings is 65.8 (4)° which compares with 64.7 (7)° in DDT.

The title compound was obtained as an analytical reference standard from the U.S.Public Health Service. The original crystal data was reported by Schneider & Fankuchen (1946). Small colourless plate-like crystals of the title compound, suitable for X-ray analysis, were obtained by room temperature evaporation of a solution in isopropyl alcohol.
Hydrogen atoms were included in the
at calculated positions [C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or 0.98 Å (methine), with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), using a riding-model approximation. The maximum difference electron density peak was 0.80 eÅ-3, adjacent to atom I4A.The title compound is the p-iodophenyl analogue of the insecticide DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane] which with the p-bromophenyl analogue provided crystal data (Schneider & Fankuchen, 1946) that indicated a probable isomorphous series [orthorhombic,
Pca21, Z = 4: for the p-Cl analogue (DDT), a = 9.963 (1), b = 19.200 (2), c = 7.887 (1) Å, V = 1509.0 Å3 [from the of DDT (DeLacy & Kennard, 1972); for the 4-bromophenyl analogue, a = 9.93, b = 19.68, c = 7.93 Å, V = 1549 Å3]. The structure of the title compound, for which the crystal data was also reported by Schneider & Fankuchen (1946), is reported herein.With the title compound (Fig. 1), isomorphism with DDT as suggested from the crystal data has been confirmed on the basis of
cell parameters and the molecular structures. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl planes in this compound [65.8 (4)°] compares with 64.7 (7)° in the structure of DDT (DeLacy & Kennard, 1972). Stabilizing the ring conformation is an intramolecular aromatic C6A-H···Cl2 interaction [D···A = 3.335 (10) Å].In the crystal, there are relatively short I4A···Cl1 and I4A···I4A contacts [3.777 (2) and 4.1502 (9) Å, respectively] but otherwise no other significant intermolecular interactions are present (Fig. 2).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

The title compound is the p-iodophenyl analogue of the insecticide DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane] which with the p-bromophenyl analogue provided crystal data (Schneider & Fankuchen, 1946) that indicated a probable isomorphous series [orthorhombic, space group Pca21, Z = 4: for the p-Cl analogue (DDT), a = 9.963 (1), b = 19.200 (2), c = 7.887 (1) Å, V = 1509.0 Å3 [from the crystal structure of DDT (DeLacy & Kennard, 1972); for the 4-bromophenyl analogue, a = 9.93, b = 19.68, c = 7.93 Å, V = 1549 Å3]. The structure of the title compound, for which the crystal data was also reported by Schneider & Fankuchen (1946), is reported herein.
With the title compound (Fig. 1), isomorphism with DDT as suggested from the crystal data has been confirmed on the basis of space group, cell parameters and the molecular structures. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl planes in this compound [65.8 (4)°] compares with 64.7 (7)° in the structure of DDT (DeLacy & Kennard, 1972). Stabilizing the ring conformation is an intramolecular aromatic C6A-H···Cl2 interaction [D···A = 3.335 (10) Å].
In the crystal, there are relatively short I4A···Cl1 and I4A···I4A contacts [3.777 (2) and 4.1502 (9) Å, respectively] but otherwise no other significant intermolecular interactions are present (Fig. 2).
