4-Cyano-4'-chlorobenzalazine [systematic name: 4-(4-chloro­benzyl­idenehydrazonomethyl)benzonitrile], C15­H10ClN3, oc­curs in two polymorphs. Polymorph A is iso­struct­ural with the corresponding dichloro compound. Polymorph B is isostructural with the bromo and iodo analogs, viz. C15H10BrN3 and C15H10IN3, respectively. The latter three structures all have approximately linear C-N...X-C inter­molecular contacts in which the N...X contact distances are longer than those in the corresponding benzyl­idene­anilines.

Comment top

In earlier work (Ojala et al., 1999, 2001), the packings of p-halo-N-(p-cyanobenzylidene)anilines and p-cyano-N-(p-halobenzylidene)anilines were reported for the chloro, bromo and iodo compounds. (Hereafter we will use the descriptor (X/Y) to denote X—C6H4—CHN—C6H4Y). This previous work was prompted by earlier work (Bernstein & Schmidt, 1972; Bernstein & Izak, 1976; Bernstein et al., 1976; Bar & Bernstein, 1977, 1982, 1983; Haller et al., 1995) in which it was shown that in (Cl/Cl), (CH3/CH3), (CH3/Cl) and (Cl/CH3) there was extensive disorder among the orientations of the molecules. The disorder could be by inversion through the pseudo-center of symmetry in the molecule, or by rotation around the X···Y axis, or by both, leading in some cases to fourfold disorder. The purpose of the earlier work (Ojala et al., 1999, 2001) was to see whether a possible –CN···X– interaction could reduce the disorder. In (I/CN), (CN/I), (CN/Br) and (CN/Cl), such interactions did occur; the disorder was eliminated in (I/CN) and (CN/I) and reduced to only the inversion disorder in (CN/Br) and (CN/Cl). In (Br/CN) and (Cl/CN), no –CN···X– interactions were found, but –X···X– interactions removed the disorder completely. We report here the structures of the corresponding 4-(4-halobenzylidenehydrazono)benzonitriles, with the descriptor (CN//X). The –CHN– bridges in benzylideneanilines are replaced by –CHN—NCH– bridges in benzalazines. Two polymorphs, A and B, were found for 4-(4-chlorobenzylidenehydrazono)benzonitrile, viz. (CN//Cl-A) and (CN//Cl-B). Polymorph (CN//Cl–B), 4-(4-bromobenzylidenehydrazono)benzonitrile, (CN//Br), and 4-(4-iodobenzylidenehydrazono)benzonitrile, (CN//I), are isostructural. All four structures show end-for-end disorder of the molecules.

The atom labeling and the anisotropic displacement parameters for (CN//Cl-A) are shown in Fig. 1. The displacement parameters are similar and the labeling scheme is the same for the other three compounds. In every case, there is partial disorder between the two ends; the major component of the disorder has 59.0 (4)% occupancy in (CN//Cl-A), 67.2 (2)% in (CN//Cl-B), 81.45 (8)% in (CN//Br) and 70.16 (4)% in (CN//I). Judging from the changes in these percentages over the course of the refinements, these s.u. values are very optimistic. If the disorder were 50/50 the average molecule, in every case, would lie on a center of symmetry. When the disorder is other than 50/50, there is only a pseudo-center of symmetry and the space groups becomes noncentrosymmetric. There are no unusual bond lengths or angles in any of the structures although, again, the s.u. values seem low. The molecules deviate slightly from planarity; the benzene rings are twisted out of the plane of the CN—NC fragments by 4.2 (2)° in (CN//Cl-A), 8.6 (2)° in (CN//Cl-B), 7.4 (1)° in (CN//Br) and 4.8 (2)° in (CN//I).

The packing for (CN//Cl-A) is shown in Fig. 2. Only the major component of the disorder is used in the figure. The compound is isostructural with (Cl//Cl) (Zheng et al., 2005; Glaser et al., 2006; Ojala et al., 2007). This packing arrangement has no short CN···CN, CN···Cl or Cl···Cl contacts except those arising from the a-axis distance of 3.828 Å.

The packing for (CN//Cl-B) is shown in Fig. 3. To the eye, the corresponding figures for (CN//Br) and (CN//I) are the same. The molecules form layers parallel to the (221) plane, and are tilted away from this plane by 19.6 (1)° for (CN//Cl-B), 19.3 (1)° for (CN//Br) and 18.8 (1)° for (CN//I). In each of these compounds there are approximately linear X···NC contacts. The geometric details of these are listed in Table 1, where they are compared with similar data for the corresponding benzylideneanilines. The N···Cl distances are slightly longer than the usual van der Waals distances, the N···Br distances about the same and the N···I distances slightly shorter. However, the orientation of the contacts is the same in all three structures.

In addition to the N···X contacts there is π stacking in all four compounds. Fig. 4 shows the stacking for (CN//Cl-A) and Fig. 5 that for (CN//Cl-B). The stacking in (CN//Br) and (CN//I) is essentially the same as that in (CN//Cl-B). As a consequence of the disorder, the distance between adjacent C1–C6 rings is slightly different from the distance between adjacent C11–C16 rings. The average distances are as follows: (CN//Cl–A), 3.47 (2); (CN//Cl–B), 3.402 (4); (CN//Br), 3.425 (4); (CN//I), 3.474 (10) Å.

Experimental top

For the preparation of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde hydrazone, a solution of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (0.5 g, 4 mmol) dissolved in approximately 10 ml of ethanol was added dropwise with stirring to an aqueous 8% hydrazine solution (14.25 g, 4 mmol hydrazine). The milky solution was stirred for approximately 30 min after the completion of the addition and then was refrigerated overnight. The hydrazone (m.p. 336 K) was not recrystallized.

For the preparation of the 4-cyano-4'-halobenzalazines, to a solution of 4-halobenzaldehyde (1 mmol) dissolved in 10 ml of absolute ethanol was added 4-cyanobenzaldehyde hydrazone (0.1 g, 1 mmol). The mixture was heated (lower than 323 K) with stirring for approximately 1 h, cooled and then refrigerated overnight. The crude benzalazine was recrystallized from carbon tetrachloride.

Crystals of (CN//Cl-A) were grown from CH2Cl2/petroleum ether mixtures. Crystals of (CN//Cl-B) were grown from either CH2Cl2 or CHCl3.

Refinement top

All of the four structures show disorder about a pseudo-center of symmetry. In order to refine the structures, the following distances were restrained: C—CN = 1.445 (1) Å; CN = 1.142 (1) Å; C—Cl = 1.746 (1) Å; C—Br = 1.903 (1) Å; C—I = 2.095 (1) Å. In addition, the pairs of atoms that would be overlapping if the center were real were constrained to have identical displacement parameters. H atoms were placed at geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.95 Å and with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 Ueq(C).

Distances and angles (Å, °) in the CN···X contacts*.
For comparison, the van der Waals contact distances (Bondi, 1964; Rowland &amp; Taylor, 1996) are N···Cl = 3.30 Å, N···Br = 3.40 Å and N···I = 3.53 Å. All structures were determined at 173 K, except d, at 183 K.

* The distances and angles have been rounded to 0.01 Å and 1°, respectively, to make the comparison simpler. The s.u. values vary but are smaller than these limits. (a) This work; (b) Ojala et al. (2001); (c) Ojala et al. (1999); (d) 4-cyano-4'-iodobiphenyl (Britton & Gleason, 1991).
