In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C17H4Br2F2N2OS, the indenone moiety is close to planar [the dihedral angle between the phenyl and the five-membered ring plane is 4.2 (4)°], and the thio­phene ring is only slightly inclined to this fragment. In the extended structure, a short Br⋯O contact considered as a halogen bond and a weak C—H⋯N inter­action contribute to the crystal packing.

1. Chemical context

Polyhalogenation is a convenient strategy for tuning the properties of π-conjugated organic building blocks, because halogen substituents can be introduced without altering the underlying conjugated framework while still allowing systematic modulation of the electronic structure and crystal packing (Baker et al., 2012View full citation; Facchetti, 2011View full citation). In particular, combinations of heavier and lighter halogens (e.g. Br and F) can influence the mol­ecular electrostatic potential and polarizability, and may facilitate directional inter­molecular contacts, including halogen bonding, which contribute to the definition of packing motifs (Metrangolo & Resnati, 2001View full citation; Cavallo et al., 2016View full citation; Desiraju et al., 2013View full citation). Such effects are especially relevant for donor⋯acceptor-type conjugated mol­ecules, in which optical and charge-transport properties can be sensitive to subtle changes in the inter­molecular arrangement (Coropceanu et al., 2007View full citation; Sirringhaus, 2014View full citation).

[Scheme 1]

The title compound, C17H4Br2F2N2OS, comprises an electron-withdrawing di­cyano­methyl­ene fragment and a carbonyl group within a conjugated indanone-based framework, tog­ether with a multi-halogenated substitution pattern that is frequently employed in the design of electron-deficient chromophores (Lin & Zhan, 2016View full citation). Although no device performance data are reported here, determination of the crystal structure is useful for assessing the conformational preferences of the conjugated skeleton and for identifying the inter­molecular contacts promoted by the Br/F substitution.

2. Structural commentary

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1[link]. The mol­ecule consists of a di­cyano­methyl­ene-substituted 2,3-di­hydro-1H-inden-1-one (indenone) unit that is connected to a 5-bromo­thio­phene ring through an exocyclic C=C linkage involving atoms C1, C10 and C12. In the resulting π-conjugated mol­ecule, the indenone carbonyl group and the di­cyano­methyl­ene fragment form an electron-deficient core, while the thienyl substituent further extends the conjugation. In line with the materials-guided use of multi-halogenation, the presence of two bromine and two fluorine atoms may provide electronic tuning as well as potential sites for structure-directing inter­molecular contacts in the solid state.

The indenone ring system is close to planar. The phenyl ring (C3–C8; r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å) and the five-membered ring (C1/C2/C3/C8/C9; r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) form a dihedral angle of 4.2 (4)°. The thio­phene ring P (S11/C12–C15; r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å) is slightly twisted with respect to the indenone core, making dihedral angles of 7.5 (3)° with the phenyl ring and 5.4 (3)° with the five-membered ring. The near-coplanar arrangement across the linking fragments is supported by the torsion angles C9—C1—C10—C12 [–176.6 (7)°] and C1—C10—C12—S1 [3.7 (13)°]. In the di­cyano­methyl­ene substituent, torsion angles C1—C9—C21—C22 [173.2 (7)°] and C1—C9—C21—C24 [–6.3 (11)°] indicate an overall nearly planar conjugated skeleton with a small asymmetry in the orientations of the two cyano groups. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by two weak C—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bonds (entries 1 and 2 in Table 1[link]).

3. Supra­molecular features

In the extended structure, a short and highly directional inter­molecular Br⋯O contact involving the carbonyl O atom is present. As shown in Fig. 2[link], this halogen bond (Cavallo et al., 2016View full citation; Desiraju et al., 2013View full citation) is nearly linear [Br17⋯O20i = 3.141 (5) Å; C4—Br17⋯O20i = 177.6 (2)°; symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, −y, 1 − z] and connects adjacent mol­ecules into a centrosymmetric dimer.

In addition, a weak C—H⋯N inter­action involving the phenyl ring and one of the cyano­methyl­ene N atoms is present (entry 3 in Table 1[link]) that may help to consolidate the crystal packing.

4. Database survey

A substructure search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD: version 2026.1; Groom et al., 2016View full citation) was carried out for neutral mol­ecules containing the same conjugated indenone/di­cyano­methyl­ene framework as the title compound. The search returned 51 hits. Representative closely related structures include CAPYUN (Popova et al., 1983View full citation), IDOYUW (Palusiak et al., 2006View full citation), RAZMEM and RAZLUB (Capobianco et al., 2012View full citation), TETVAT (Shao et al., 2023View full citation), PAWMUZ (Terenti et al., 2022View full citation), SOFPOT and SOFPUZ (Masuda et al., 2008View full citation) and XAKJAX (Francos et al., 2016View full citation).

Structural variations are mainly associated with the substituents on the indenone ring and the exocyclic ar­yl(heteroar­yl)methyl­idene fragment, including differences in halogen substitution. In comparison with these related compounds, the title mol­ecule bears two Br atoms (on the indenone ring and the thio­phene ring) together with two F atoms on the fused benzene ring. Such substitutions change the steric demand and the distribution of electron density around the carbonyl and nitrile groups, which can influence the balance of weak inter­molecular contacts. Consistent with this, the crystal structure of the title compound is primarily stabilized by C—H⋯N inter­actions involving the nitrile N atoms and by a directional Br⋯O contact involving the carbonyl O atom; the latter inter­action is enabled by the presence and orientation of the bromine substituent and is not necessarily present in all related structures lacking an appropriately positioned halogen donor.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

The synthesis scheme to obtain the title compound is given in Fig. 3[link]. Starting material 1 (40 mg, 0.129 mmol) and 5-bromo­thio­phene-2-carbaldehyde (31 mg, 0.162 mmol) were dissolved in 1,2-di­chloro­ethane (12 ml). Tri­fluoro­boric acid diethyl etherate (BF3·Et2O, 0.10 ml) and acetic anhydride (Ac2O, 0.10 ml) were added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The mixture was then extracted with di­chloro­methane and the combined organic layers dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using chloro­form as eluent to afford the title compound as an orange–red solid (44 mg, 0.091 mmol, 71% based on starting material 1. The product was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy (details given in the electronic supplementary information). Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by gas-liquid diffusion of n-hexane into a di­chloro­methane solution of the product over 2 d at room temperature.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2[link]. Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model [C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)]. Six reflections, −20 4 18, 14 2 12, −5 3 21, −8 2 25, −9 1 28 and 12 4 11, were omitted as clear outliers. The maximum and minimum residual electron-density peaks are 1.70 and 0.97 Å, respectively, from atom Br17.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
