Abstract
4-Iodo-beta-nitrostyrene forms crystals which are not satisfactory for the collection of X-ray diffraction data. However, it was possible to obtain an approximate unit cell and to record the X-ray powder spectr um. This information coupled with a knowledge of the related crystal s tructures of the 4-chloro and 4-bromo analogues is sufficient for the determination of the crystal structure of the title compound using pac king considerations. The structure is characterized by C-H...O and I.. .O2N interactions. Halogen...O2N interactions have been studied with t he Cambridge Structural Database.
