The title compound was prepared by the 5 d reaction under argon of DIAD (diisopropylazodicarboxylate) (0.37 g, 1.9 mmol), triphenylphosphine (0.49 g, 1.9 mmol), 2,2'-(isoindolin-1,3-diylidene)bispropanedinitrile (0.25 g, 1.9 mmol) (French patent No. 1537299), cinnamyl alcohol (0.25 g, 1.9 mmol) in 40 ml tetrahydrofuran. 2,2'-(Cinnamylisoindolin-1,3-diylidene)bispropanedinitrile, (I), was isolated as an orange crystalline material after column chromatography. (m.p. 469–471 K uncorrected). IR (KBr, cm-1): 3049, 2372, 2335, 2224, 1563, 1465, 1407, 1228, 1146, 1109, 983, 775, 723; UV-Vis (CH3CN) λmax(ε): 552 (5250), 459 (6667), 414 (38333), 392 (39167), 249 (47083) nm; 1H NMR (400 MHz, δ, CDCl3): 8.75 (m, 2H, aromatic), 7.85 (m, 2H, aromatic), 7.37 (m, 2H, aromatic), 7.30 (m, 3H, aromatic), 6.50 (d, J = 16 Hz, 1H), 6.25 (m, 1H), 5.50 (m, 2H); 13C NMR (δC, CDCl3): 156.8, 135.0, 134.8, 134.0, 130.9, 128.8, 128.7, 126.9, 126.0, 120.5, 113.1, 112.3, 62.1, 47.8.
In (I), all H atoms bound to C atoms were treated as riding, with SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997) defaults for C—H lengths and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methylene H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for the remainder. Examination of the structure with PLATON (Spek, 1998) showed that there were no solvent-accessible voids in the crystal lattice.
Organic conductors are currently an important research area in materials chemistry (Martin et al., 1997; Yamashita & Tomura, 1998), with special interest in the interaction of π-deficient and π-excessive materials in 1:1 complexes, e.g. TCNQ/TTF, where TCNQ is tetracyanoquinodimethane and TTF is tetrathiafulvalene.
The bond lengths and angles in the heterocyclic ring of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), are similar to those reported previously in related systems (McNab et al., 1997; Brady et al., 1998; Gallagher & Murphy, 1999; Brady & Gallagher, 2000). For TCNQ (tetracyanoquinodimethane) systems (280 examples), the average exocyclic Csp2═Csp2 and Csp2—Csp1 bond lengths are 1.392 (17) and 1.427 (10) Å, respectively; thus, in (I), the C6A—C7A, C6A—C8A and C6B—C7B and C6B—C8B bond lengths in the range 1.425 (3)–1.436 (3) Å are normal (Orpen et al., 1994). The four nitrile C≡N values are from 1.144 (2) to 1.146 (2) Å, which compare with the average C≡N dimension from the literature, 1.144 (8) Å (Orpen et al., 1994). The exocyclic indolinyl ring C═C bond lengths are 1.372 (2) and 1.374 (2) Å, which are longer than typical double bonds. The four remaining exocyclic indolinyl cyano C—C bond lengths are in the range 1.425 (3)–1.436 (3) Å and similar to previously reported values. The angles which the C(C≡N)2 groups make with the C4N ring are 7.01 (10) (C6A) and 2.33 (10)° (C6B), demonstrating a small twist from planarity about the C4—C6(A/B) bonds.
The hydrogen bonding in (I) is dominated by intramolecular C—H···N interactions and close contacts (details in Table 3). There are two intramolecular C(arene)—H···π(C≡N) interactions with C12—H12···N2A and C15—H15···N2B C···N distances of 3.390 (3) and 3.390 (2) Å, respectively. A C1—H1B···N3A intramolecular contact is present [C1···N3A 3.401 (2) Å and C—H···N 139°]. A C—H···π(arene) interaction is also present, C14—H14···Cg1, where Cg1 is the centroid of {C21–C26}i [symmetry code: (i) 1/2 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z; details in Table 3]. The closest C14···C26i contact distance is 3.696 (2) Å with a C14—H14···Cg1 angle of 121°.

Experimental. The phenyl ring carbon atoms C23 and C24 have large displacement parameters, however, there is no evidence for disorder in this aromatic ring system. |

Organic conductors are currently an important research area in materials chemistry (Martin et al., 1997; Yamashita & Tomura, 1998), with special interest in the interaction of π-deficient and π-excessive materials in 1:1 complexes, e.g. TCNQ/TTF, where TCNQ is tetracyanoquinodimethane and TTF is tetrathiafulvalene.
The bond lengths and angles in the heterocyclic ring of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), are similar to those reported previously in related systems (McNab et al., 1997; Brady et al., 1998; Gallagher & Murphy, 1999; Brady & Gallagher, 2000). For TCNQ (tetracyanoquinodimethane) systems (280 examples), the average exocyclic Csp2═Csp2 and Csp2—Csp1 bond lengths are 1.392 (17) and 1.427 (10) Å, respectively; thus, in (I), the C6A—C7A, C6A—C8A and C6B—C7B and C6B—C8B bond lengths in the range 1.425 (3)–1.436 (3) Å are normal (Orpen et al., 1994). The four nitrile C≡N values are from 1.144 (2) to 1.146 (2) Å, which compare with the average C≡N dimension from the literature, 1.144 (8) Å (Orpen et al., 1994). The exocyclic indolinyl ring C═C bond lengths are 1.372 (2) and 1.374 (2) Å, which are longer than typical double bonds. The four remaining exocyclic indolinyl cyano C—C bond lengths are in the range 1.425 (3)–1.436 (3) Å and similar to previously reported values. The angles which the C(C≡N)2 groups make with the C4N ring are 7.01 (10) (C6A) and 2.33 (10)° (C6B), demonstrating a small twist from planarity about the C4—C6(A/B) bonds.
The hydrogen bonding in (I) is dominated by intramolecular C—H···N interactions and close contacts (details in Table 3). There are two intramolecular C(arene)—H···π(C≡N) interactions with C12—H12···N2A and C15—H15···N2B C···N distances of 3.390 (3) and 3.390 (2) Å, respectively. A C1—H1B···N3A intramolecular contact is present [C1···N3A 3.401 (2) Å and C—H···N 139°]. A C—H···π(arene) interaction is also present, C14—H14···Cg1, where Cg1 is the centroid of {C21–C26}i [symmetry code: (i) 1/2 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z; details in Table 3]. The closest C14···C26i contact distance is 3.696 (2) Å with a C14—H14···Cg1 angle of 121°.
