In the title compound, C11H5I2N, the two iodine-atom substitutents with their large atomic sizes lead to short intramolecular I⋯H distances (3.01 Å). In the crystal, the trisubstituted azulene system forms π-stacks [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6343 (11) Å] along the a-axis direction, showing the characteristic azulene interaction mode between the electron-rich five-membered ring and the electron-deficient seven-membered ring. I⋯I [3.9129 (2) Å] non-covalent contacts are observed along with weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯π. bonds.

The synthesis of the title compound was done starting from the literature known azulene derivative 2-cyanoazulene (Nozoe et al., 1962). This latter compound (0.1 g, 0.65 mmol) and N-iodosuccinimide (0.44 g, 1.96 mmol) were dissolved in 20 ml dichloromethane. The solution was stirred for 8 h under reflux. After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified by δ/p.p.m. = 7.46 (t, 2 H, ArH, 3JHH = 9.78 Hz), 7.83 (t, 1 H, ArH, 3JHH = 9.85 Hz), 8.30 (d, 2 H, ArH, 3JHH = 9.95 Hz); 13C-NMR: (CDCl3) δ/p.p.m. = 78.41(ArC), 117.30(CN), 126.86(ArC), 129.23(ArC), 141.00(ArC), 142.82(ArC), 143.06(ArC); GC/MS calc.: 405; found: 405 [M]+.. Crystallization by slow evaporation from n-hexane yielded suitable crystals.

The naphthalene isomer azulene is a well known blue nonbenzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon (Plattner 1937). Besides the use of azulene derivatives for medical purposes (Shi 2011), special electronic properties and redox behaviour makes them interesting compounds for electronic applications (Förster et al. 2012). In this regard, the present trisubstituted azulene derivative is a promising intermediate. In the π···π overlap between the five- and seven-membered ring components in conformity with their dipole character. In direction of the crystallographic b and c axes, these stacks are connected via C—H···N contacts [C8—H8···N1 (3/2+x,1/2-y,1/2+z) 2.62 Å, 139.1°] (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999), I···I interactions [I1···I2 (3/2-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z) 3.91 Å, 91°] (Metrangolo et al., 2008) and C—H···π contacts [C6—H6···center(C11, N1) (1/2-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z) 2.76 Å, 152.6°] (Nishio et al., 2009) (Fig 2).
of this compound, the contains one molecule featuring an almost planar azulene ring system with a maximum deviations of 0.023 (2) and 0.023 (2) Å (Fig.1). Short intramolecular distances (3.01 Å) involving the iodine atoms and their neighboring H atoms (I1···H9, I2···H5) are a further characteristic of the molecular structur. Along the crystallographic a-axis, the is stabilized by formation of molecular stacks with a distance of 3.46 Å between the planes of the molecules. The parallel orientated azulene ring systems are arranged in an offset face-to-face fashion showingFor the naphthalene isomer azulene, see: Plattner & Pfau (1937).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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 naphthalene isomer azulene is a well known blue nonbenzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon (Plattner 1937). Besides the use of azulene derivatives for medical purposes (Shi 2011), special electronic properties and redox behaviour makes them interesting compounds for electronic applications (Förster et al. 2012). In this regard, the present trisubstituted azulene derivative is a promising intermediate. In the crystal structure of this compound, the asymmetric unit contains one molecule featuring an almost planar azulene ring system with a maximum deviations of 0.023 (2) and 0.023 (2) Å (Fig.1). Short intramolecular distances (3.01 Å) involving the iodine atoms and their neighboring H atoms (I1···H9, I2···H5) are a further characteristic of the molecular structur. Along the crystallographic a-axis, the crystal structure is stabilized by formation of molecular stacks with a distance of 3.46 Å between the planes of the molecules. The parallel orientated azulene ring systems are arranged in an offset face-to-face fashion showing π···π overlap between the five- and seven-membered ring components in conformity with their dipole character. In direction of the crystallographic b and c axes, these stacks are connected via C—H···N contacts [C8—H8···N1 (3/2+x,1/2-y,1/2+z) 2.62 Å, 139.1°] (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999), I···I interactions [I1···I2 (3/2-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z) 3.91 Å, 91°] (Metrangolo et al., 2008) and C—H···π contacts [C6—H6···center(C11, N1) (1/2-x,-1/2+y,1/2-z) 2.76 Å, 152.6°] (Nishio et al., 2009) (Fig 2).
