Comment top

The title compound, (I), abbreviated to 3,10-DClQA, is one of the quinacridone derivatives on the market which are known as red pigments (Pigment Red 209; Herbst & Hunger, 1997) and typically characterized by N—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. 3,10-DClQA exhibits a yellowish–red shade in the solid state, while the colour is bluish–red in 2,9-dichloroquinacridone (2,9-DClQA; Senju et al., 2005), although the solution spectra of both compounds are practically the same. This suggests that intermolecular interactions in the solid state are responsible for the difference in colour. In this connection, the structure analysis of (I) has been undertaken.

Fig. 1 shows a plot of the molecule of (I). The molecule has inversion symmetry. The quinacridine skeleton is entirely planar, as indicated by a small deviation [For which atom?] of about 0.02 Å from the least-squares plane of the rings defined by atoms C1–C10 and N1. However, the carbonyl O atom deviates by 0.140 (3) Å from the least-squares plane of the ring system towards the NH group of the neighbouring molecule, enabling the formation of an N—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bond (Table 2). This tendency was also found in 2,9-DClQA (Senju et al., 2005).

As shown in Fig. 2(a), there are chains of N—H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds along the [110] direction. One molecule is bonded to two neighbouring molecules through four hydrogen bonds. There is a small step of about 0.55 Å between the two molecular planes of the hydrogen-bonded molecules, as shown in Fig. 2(b). In commercial hydrogen-bonded pigments, there are normally no steps between molecules (Mizuguchi et al., 1992, 1993) and this is a good criterion for strong hydrogen bonds. The existence of the step in (I) indicates a somewhat weaker hydrogen bond. This kind of step has also been found in the following pigments: 2,9-dimethylquinacridone (Mizuguchi et al., 2002), modifications I and II of dithioketopyrrolopyrrole (Mizuguchi et al., 1990), thiazine-indigo (Senju & Mizuguchi, 2003) and 2,9-DClQA (Senju et al., 2005). In the present investigation, no significant difference in structure has been observed between 3,10-DClQA [(I)] and 2,9-DClQA, contrary to our expectation. Further investigation is now in progress in order to elucidate the origin of the difference in colour in the solid state.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was purchased form Dainippon Ink & Chemicals Inc. and purified twice by sublimation using a two-zone furnace (Mizuguchi, 1981). Single crystals were grown from the vapour phase in a closed system at about 743 K. After 24 h, a number of red platelet [Needle below?] single crystals were obtained.

Refinement top

The H atom of the NH group was found in a difference density map and fixed during the refinement [Uiso(H) = 0.021 Å2]. All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All standard uncertainties (s.u.s) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.s in distances and angles; correlations between s.u.s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry.

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.
