RESUMO
In the title compound, C(7)H(7)IN(2)O(2), the O atoms of the nitro group are disordered over two sets of sites and there is evidence that the intramolecular I...nitro interaction is repulsive. In the crystal structure, there are neither strong hydrogen bonds, nor intermolecular I...nitro interactions, nor aromatic pi-pi-stacking interactions.
RESUMO
In the triclinic polymorph of 2-iodo-4-nitroaniline, C(6)H(5)IN(2)O(2), space group P-1, the molecules are linked by paired N-H...O hydrogen bonds into C(8)[R(2)(2)(6)] chains of rings. These chains are linked into sheets by nitro...I interactions, and the sheets are pairwise linked by aromatic pi-pi-stacking interactions. In the orthorhombic polymorph, space group Pbca, the molecules are linked by single N-H...O hydrogen bonds into spiral C(8) chains; the chains are linked by nitro...O interactions into sheets, each of which is linked to its two immediate neighbours by aromatic pi-pi-stacking interactions, so producing a continuous three-dimensional structure.
