2-[(2-Chlorophenyl)iminomethyl]-4,6-diiodophenol
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H8ClI2NO, contains half of the molecule situated on a mirror plane. The hydroxy group is involved in the formation of an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. π–π interactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.629 (3) Å] form stacks along the b axis. In the crystal, weak C—H...O and C—H...Cl interactions are observed.
