| Abstract: | Nearly planar molecules of the title compound, C9H6IN, are packed in inclined stacks along the short crystallographic b axis and molecules in adjacent stacks are packed to form antiparallel zigzag chains. Short intermolecular N...I contacts 3.131 (3) Å] are observed between molecules in adjacent stacks. A network of C—H...π hydrogen bonds 2.821 (5) and 3.083 (3) Å] between molecules in adjacent stacks is also present. These motif‐generating interactions, including the weak C—H...π interactions, are of relevance in crystal engineering and design. |
