In the title compound, C7H5N3O2, which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in space group P21/c, the two independent mol­ecules both exhibit positional disorder, with refined site-occupancy factors of 0.947 (2) and 0.053 (2) for the major and minor components, respectively. The major components have polarized molecular electronic structures. The two major components are linked into sheets of alternating R{_4^4}(20) and R{_4^4}(28) rings by two N-H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 2.18 and 2.21 Å, N...O = 3.022 (2) and 3.043 (2) Å and N-H...O both 159°] and two N-H...N hydrogen bonds [H...N = 2.14 and 2.17 Å, N...N = 2.990 (2) and 3.001 (2) Å, and N-H...N = 162 and 158°]. The sheets are linked into a three-dimensional framework by a single aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking interaction.

Comment top

We report here the molecular and supramolecular structure of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), which provides an interesting comparison with the bromo-substituted analogue, (II) (Glidewell et al., 2002). In compound (II), the molecules are linked by paired N—H···N hydrogen bonds, in which the cyano N atom acts as the acceptor, into centrosymmetric dimers characterized by an R22(12) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), and these dimers are linked by a single N—H···O hydrogen bond into essentially planar sheets built from alternating R22(12) and R66(36) rings, where both ring types are centrosymmetric (Glidewell et al., 2002). Within the larger of these rings, there are centrosymmetrically related pairs of fairly short intermolecular Br···O contacts, involving the nitro O atom which is not engaged in the hydrogen bonding, and this raises the possibility that these Br and O atoms may be acting as an effective template for the formation of the R66(36) rings. It is thus of interest to investigate the analogue, (I), from which the Br substituent is absent. \sch

The molecules of (I) exhibit positional disorder (see Experimental). In both major components, molecules A and B (Fig. 1), the bond distances (Table 1) provide evidence for polarized molecular electronic structures. The C—NH2 and C—NO2 distances are both short for their types (Allen et al., 1987), while the N—O distances are all long, and the bonds C2X—C3X, C3X—C4X and C5X—C6X (X is A or B) are all significantly shorter than the remaining ring bonds, consistent with quinonoid bond fixation. These values thus indicate a contribution to the overall molecular electronic structure from the canonical forms (Ia) and (Ib). Entirely similar forms also contribute to the molecular electronic structure of (II) (Glidewell et al., 2002).

However, the supramolecular structure of (I) is entirely different from that of (II). Since the pattern of hydrogen bonds linking the major components, molecules A and B, is identical to that linking the minor components, molecules C and D (Table 2), we discuss in detail only the supramolecular aggregation of the major components. Each of the N—H···O hydrogen bonds involves only a single type of molecule, A—D respectively, while the N—H···N hydrogen bonds link molecules either of types A and B, or of types C and D.

Amino atom N1A in the type A molecule at (x, y, z), acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H11A, to atom O41A in the type A molecule at (-x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 − z), so producing a C(8) spiral chain of type A molecules only, running parallel to the [010] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (0, y, 1/4) (Fig. 2). Similarly, atom N1B in the type B molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H11B, to atom O41B in the type B molecule at (1 − x, y − 1/2, 3/2 − z), so producing a second C(8) chain parallel to [010], this time of type B molecules only and generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/2, y, 3/4) (Fig. 2).

These independent C(8) chains built from N—H···O hydrogen bonds are linked into (101) sheets by the N—H···N hydrogen bonds. Amino atom N1B acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H12B, to cyano atom N21A within the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1), while atom N1A in the type A molecule at (x, y, z) similarly acts as donor, via atom H12A, to cyano atom N21B in the type B molecule at (x − 1, y, z − 1). The combination of these two N—H···N hydrogen bonds generates by translation a C22(12) chain running parallel to the [101] direction, and the combination of this chain and the two independent [010] chains generates a (101) sheet built of R44(20) and R44(28) rings, alternating in a chess-board fashion (Fig. 2).

Two sheets of this type pass through each unit cell and each sheet is weakly linked to the two adjacent sheets by means of a single aromatic ππ stacking interaction involving the type B molecules only. The aryl ring of the type B molecule at (x, y, z) makes angles of only ca 0.5° with those of the type B molecules at (x, 3/2 − y, 1/2 + z) and (x, 3/2 − y, z − 1/2). The corresponding interplanar spacings are ca 3.295 Å, with centroid separations of 3.574 (2) Å, corresponding to centroid offsets of ca 1.384 Å. Propagation of this interaction forms a π-stacked chain of type B molecules running parallel to the [001] direction, generated by the c-glide plane at y = 3/4 (Fig. 3). The absence of an analogous interaction involving the type A molecules is sufficient to preclude the possibility of any additional symmetry in the structure.

The supramolecular structure of (I) thus differs from that of (II) in a number of significant respects. There are no centrosymmetric dimer motifs present in (I) of the type found in (II), although such motifs are, in fact, absent from the structure of 2-cyanoaniline (Laine et al., 1996). The hydrogen-bonded sheets exhibit different chess-board patterns in the two structures, with R44(20) and R44(28) rings present in (I), and R22(12) and R66(36) rings present in (II), and in particular the absence of a Br substituent in (I) is accompanied by the absence of the large rings found in (II)·Finally, adjacent sheets in (I) are linked by an aromatic ππ stacking interaction, whereas such interactions are absent from the structure of (II), where the aggregation dependent upon direction-specific interactions is strictly two-dimensional.

Experimental top

A sample of (I) was obtained from Bayer, and purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography on alumina using ethyl acetate as eluent. Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation of a solution in ethanol.

Refinement top

Space group P21/c was assigned from the systematic absences. At an early stage of the refinement it became apparent that both independent molecules, labelled A and B (Fig. 1), exhibited a modest degree of positional disorder, giving rise to two further independent molecules, labelled C and D. The h0l reflections having l even are all weak to very weak when h is odd, and in (010) projection the coordinates of molecules A and B are approximately related by the transformation (1/2 + x, 1/2 + z). Those of molecules C and D are similarly related, implying an approximate n-glide present only in the (010) projection. The disorder was satisfactorily modelled by assigning one common site-occupancy factor to molecules A and B, and a second common factor to molecules C and D. The refined values are 0.947 (2) and 0.053 (2), respectively. Because of the very low occupancy of the C and D sites, the non-H atoms in these sites were assigned a common isotropic displacement parameter, and their phenyl rings were constrained to be rigid planar hexagons with a C—C distance of 1.39 Å. In addition, the remaining intramolecular parameters for molecules C and D were all restrained, using DFIX commands, to values based upon the average values of the corresponding parameters in molecules A and B; attempted free refinement of molecules C and D led to some unrealistic geometric parameters for these molecules. All the H atoms of the major components were located from difference maps, and all H atoms were included in the refinements as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.95 and N—H distances of 0.88 Å.
