Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 4-{2,2-dichloro-1-[(E)-(4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl]ethenyl}-N,N-dimethylaniline
Abstract
The title compound, C16H14Cl3N3, comprises three molecules of similar shape in the asymmetric unit. The crystal cohesion is ensured by intermolecular C—H...N and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds in addition to C—Cl...π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots reveal that Cl...H/H...Cl (33.6%), H...H (27.9%) and C...H/H...C (17.6%) are the most important contributors towards the crystal packing.
