Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-4-{[2,2-di-chloro-1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethen-yl]diazen-yl}benzo-nitrile.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₁Cl₂N₃O, the 4-meth-oxy-substituted benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 41.86 (9)° with the benzene ring of the benzo-nitrile group. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to (020) by C-H⋯O contacts and face-to-face π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.9116 (14) and 3.9118 (14) Å] between symmetry-related aromatic rings along the a-axis direction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (22.8%), H⋯H (21.4%), N⋯H/H⋯N (16.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.7%) and C⋯C (9.1%) inter-actions.
