Abstract
Abstract Isomorphous crystals of 5-chloro-7-iodo- and 5,7-dibromo-8-quinolinols have been examined by X-ray analysis. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2⁄a with four formula units in the unit cell. The cell dimensions are: a=16.98; b=4.16; c=14.84 Å, and β=112.0° for 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-quinolinol, and a=16.34, b=4.02, c=15.52 Å, and β=115.6° for 5,7-dibromo-8-quinolinol. The structure of the former, chinoform, has been determined by the Patterson methods from data collected with MoKα radiation on Weissenberg photographs, and refined by the block-diagonal least-squares method, with anisotropic temperature factors. The final R value is 0.081 for 836 observed reflections. The quinolinol molecule is nearly planar. In the crystals, the molecules related by two-fold axis are held together by hydrogen bonds to form bent dimers, which are stacked closely by van der Waals forces along the b axis.
