Summary
Two independent C10H8INO2 molecules exhibit varying planarity, forming a layered crystal structure. These molecules link via hydrogen bonds and iodine-oxygen interactions, creating a unique double-chain arrangement.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Chemical Physics
Background:
- The study investigates the solid-state structure of a specific organic compound, C10H8INO2.
- Understanding molecular arrangement and intermolecular interactions is crucial in crystal engineering.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of C10H8INO2.
- To analyze the differences in planarity between independent molecules in the asymmetric unit.
- To characterize the intermolecular interactions and resulting supramolecular architecture.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the three-dimensional structure.
- Analysis of bond lengths, bond angles, and deviations from planarity.
- Identification and analysis of hydrogen bonding and other non-covalent interactions.
Main Results:
- Two independent C10H8INO2 molecules were identified in the asymmetric unit, differing in their planarity.
- Molecule 1 exhibited near-planarity, while Molecule 2 showed deviations in iodine and oxygen positions.
- The molecules formed a layered structure parallel to the (6,11,17) plane, with a distance of 3.37 Å between adjacent molecular layers.
- Chains formed along the [11-1] direction via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds were further linked by I⋯O interactions (3.270 Å), creating a double-chain structure.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure of C10H8INO2 is characterized by two distinct molecular conformations and a unique layered, double-chain supramolecular assembly.
- Intermolecular interactions, including hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding (I⋯O), play a significant role in stabilizing the observed crystal packing.
- The findings contribute to the understanding of structure-property relationships in iodo-indoline-2,3-dione derivatives.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorination and Iodination of Benzene
6.5K
Bromination and chlorination of aromatic rings by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are easily achieved, but fluorination and iodination are difficult to achieve. Fluorine is so reactive that its reaction with benzene is difficult to control, resulting in poor yields of monofluoroaromatic products. To address this, Selectfluor reagent is used as a fluorine source in which a fluorine atom is bonded to a positively charged nitrogen.

Diazonium Group Substitution: –OH and –H
1.9K
Nitrous acid, a weak acid, is prepared in situ via the reaction of sodium nitrite with a strong acid under cold conditions. This nitrous acid prepared in situ reacts with primary arylamines to form arenediazonium salts. Such reactions are known as diazotization reactions. As shown in Figure 1, the formation of arenediazonium salts begins with the decomposition of nitrous acid in an acidic solution to give nitrosonium ions.
