Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-{[(4-iodo-phen-yl)imino]-meth-yl}-4-nitro-phenol.

The title compound, CHINO, was synthesized by a condensation reaction between 2-hy-droxy-5-nitro-benzaldehyde and 4-iodo-aniline, and crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group 2. The 4-iodo-benzene ring is inclined to the phenol ring by a dihedral angle of 39.1 (2)°. The configuration about the C=N double bond is . The crystal structure features C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the packing arrangement are O⋯H/H⋯O (26.9%) and H⋯H (22.0%) inter-actions.
