Crystal structure of 1-ethyl-5-iodoindolin-2-one

Abstract

Mol­ecules of 1-ethyl-5-iodo­indolin-2-one are arranged in columns extending along the a axis and inter­act with the mol­ecules in adjacent columns via inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and I⋯I short contacts. A one-dimensional zigzag iodine chain along the a axis can be recognized between two neighbouring columns.
