In the title compound, C18H15Cl2N3O2Se, the selenadiazole ring makes dihedral angles of 49.87 (3) and 55.70 (3)° with the two benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 11.90 (5)°. In the crystal structure, intra­molecular C-H...O and C-H...Se inter­actions and inter­molecular C-H...O, C-H...Cl and C-H...N inter­actions are observed.

Comment top

Selenium containing compounds like 1,2,3-selenadiazole possess various beneficial activities like antifungal (Kuroda et al., 2001), antibacterial (El-Kashef et al., 1986), antimicrobial (El-Bahaie et al., 1990) and insecticidal (Padmavathi et al., 2002) activities. As naturally occurring nitro compounds exhibit broad antibiotic activity and certain alkyl nitro compounds exhibit antitumor activity, it was decided to synthesize and structurally characterize a set of 1,2,3-selenadiazoles with nitro group in the side chain (Saravanan et al., 2006).

The geometric parameters in the compound, (I) agree with the reported values of similar structure (Mellini & Merlino, 1976a,b; Bertini et al., 1984; Gunasekaran et al., 2007). The C3—C8 benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 49.87 (3)° with the heterocyclic ring and the C10—C15 benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 55.70 (3)° with the heterocyclic ring (Fig. 1).

The details of the hydrogen bonding are given in Table 1. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H···O and C—H···Se interactions and the crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O, C—H···Cl and C—H···N interactions (Fig. 2).

(2006). A similar compound with a chlorophenyl ring has been reported recently (Gunasekaran et al., 2007).

Experimental top

A solution of 2-[1,3-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-4-nitropentylidene]-1-hydrazine carboxamide (0.005 mol) and powdered selenium dioxide (0.05 mol) in dry THF was gently heated on a water bath for 2 h. The selenium deposited on cooling was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was poured into crushed ice, extracted with chloroform, and purified by column chromatography using silica gel (60–120 mesh) with 97:3 petroleum ether: ethyl acetate as eluent to give 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-2- nitropropyl]-1,2,3-selenadiazole. Solvent used for crystallization is ethanol.

Refinement top
