p-Decyl­phenyl isocyanide, p-C10H21–C6H4–NC or C17H25N, and p-decyl­benzo­nitrile, p-C10H21–C6H4–CN or C17H25N, are isomorphous. The mol­ecules lie in mirror planes, with the C6 rings perpendicular to the mirror. The packing of both mol­ecules includes an aliphatic region, with close to ideal packing of the C10H21 chains, and an aromatic region, with phenyl ring–CN interactions. In addition, the CN ends of the mol­ecules are also involved in a CN...NC dipolar interaction.

Comment top

In the course of a study of the structures and properties of a series of [Pt(arylisonitrile)4][Pt(CN)4] compounds (Daws et al. 1997), it was felt useful to determine the structure of one of the arylisonitrile ligands, p-decylphenylisocyanide, (I); this structure is reported here. Corresponding nitriles and isocyanides sometimes have different packing arrangements, even though the pairs of molecules are very closely isosteric (Pink et al., 2000, and references therein). In view of this fact, it also seemed worthwhile to determine the structure of p-decylphenylnitrile, (II).

The two compounds are isomorphous. The anisotropic displacement ellipsoids and atom labelling are shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles in the two molecules agree within experimental error. The C3—N2 and N2—C1 distances in the isocyanide are 1.407 (2) and 1.162 (2) Å, respectively, and the corresponding distances in the nitrile, C3—-C2 and C2—N1, are 1.446 (3) and 1.153 (3) Å, respectively.

There are three major components to the packing, viz. the interactions of the aliphatic portions, the π interactions of the aromatic portions, and the dipolar interactions of the nitrile and isonitrile groups (see Fig. 2 for two orthogonal views of the packing).

The aliphatic C10H21 fragments pack parallel to each other, forming a two-dimensional layer with hexagonal close-packed rods. This arrangement is similar to that found in n-decane (Bond & Davies, 2002). While the packing in n-decane is not identical to that of either of the CN compounds, since the planar C10 groups are oriented differently to each other in the two basically different structures, the cross sectional areas of the rods in the CN compounds [18.26 (2) Å2 for –NC and 18.25 (2) Å2for –CN] are only slightly larger than that in n-decane [17.94 (2) Å2], indicating that this aspect of the packing is only slightly affected by the terminal groups.

The overlap of the aromatic fragments is shown in Fig. 3. There is no overlap between the rings, but the –CN and –NC groups lie directly over the ring in the next layer. The perpendicular distances in (I) are 3.467 (1) (ring), 3.474 (2) (N2) and 3.494 (2) Å (C1). The distances in (II) are 3.474 (2) (ring), 3.506 (4) (C2) and 3.552 (3) Å (N1). In each case, the –NC or –CN group is bent slightly out of the plane of the ring and away from the ring in the next molecule.

There are two pairs of dipolar interactions between a particular –NC or –CN group and its neighbors. One pair is attractive, involving groups related across a center of symmetry. In these interactions, the perpendicular distances between the parallel groups are 4.052 (2) Å for (I) and 4.055 (3) Å for (II). The dipoles are slightly displaced along the C—N bond direction from the positions of maximum attraction, assuming equal and opposite charges localized on the C and N atoms; the displacements are 0.149 Å for (I) and 0.184 Å for (II). The other pair of interactions is repulsive, involving groups related by translation along the a direction. In these interactions, the perpendicular distances between the parallel groups are shorter, viz. 3.525 (2) Å for (I) and 3.557 (3) Å for (II). However, the dipoles are considerably displaced along the C—N bond direction from the positions of maximum repulsion; the displacements are 3.054 (2) Å for (I) and 3.017 (3) Å for (II). The net result is that, for this simple model, the magnitude of the attractive interaction is about three times that of the repulsive interaction.

Experimental top

The preparation of (I) has been reported previously (Daws et al., 1997). Crystals suitable for diffraction were prepared by recrystallization from ethanol. Compound (II) was obtained according to the method of Casanova et al. (1966). A 0.23 g sample of neat p-C10H21—C6H4—NC was heated to 473 K for 24 h under an argon atmosphere. After cooling overnight, the IR spectrum showed a single band at 2232.5 cm−1, due to the nitrile stretch. No isocyanide was present. The crude nitrile was purified by chromatography on silica gel with a 1:20 mixture of ethyl acetate and hexanes. Recrystallization from a variety of solvents gave crystals inferior to those of (I). The crystals used for the X-ray structure determination were obtained from acetone.

Refinement top

For (I), the positions and isotropic displacement parameters for all of the H atoms were refined. For (II), given the lower quality of the data, the H atoms were placed in idealized positions, with C—H distances of 0.95 Å for the aromatic H atoms, 0.99 Å for the CH2 H atoms and 0.98 Å for the CH3 H atoms. The Uiso values were set at 1.2Ueq of the attached C atoms for the aromatic and CH2 H atoms, and 1.5Ueq for the CH3 H atoms.
