Supporting information

S1. Comment

Cyprodinil, C₁₄H₁₅N₃, is a systemic pyrimidine fungicide for foliar applications on cereals and strawberries against plant pathogenic fungi (Sapp et al., 2003). Its crystal structure is reported herein. In this compound (Scheme 1, Fig. 1), the dihedral angles between the central pyrimidine ring and the terminal phenyl ring and mean plane of cyclopropane ring system are 14.52 (11) and 88.79 (10)°. All bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable to those observed in the crystal structure of a similar compound (Kang et al., 2014).

In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular π–π interaction between the pyrimidine ring and terminal phenyl ring systems [Cg1···Cg2ⁱⁱ, 3.8552 (11) Å] are present (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C1—C6 and C7—N2—C8—C9—C10—N3 rings, respectively) [for symmetry codes: (ii), x, y - 1, z].

Special details

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