Crystal structure, DFT study and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-nonyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-2,3-dione

Abstract

In the title molecule, C17H23NO2, the dihydroindole portion is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0157 Å) and the nonyl substituent is in an `extended' conformation. In the crystal, the nonyl chains intercalate and the dihydroindoledione units are associated through C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form micellar blocks. Based on the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the most important intermolecular interaction is the H...H interaction.
