The title compound, C15H10BrNO3, is close to planar, as seen by the dihedral angle of 3.32 (17)° between the bromo­phenyl and nitro­phenyl rings. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the c-axis direction.

Structure description

Chalcones have attracted considerable inter­est because of their major applications in technologies such as optical computing and optical communication systems (Chidan et al., 2015[Chidan Kumar, C. S., Balachandran, V., Fun, H. K., Chandraju, S. & Quah, C. K. (2015). J. Mol. Struct. 1100, 299-310.]), photonics and optoelectronics. They are also considered to be the precursors of flavonoids and isoflavonoids. Owing to their electronic structure, chalcones also find unique applications as fluorescent probes for sensing metal ions (Kumar et al. 2013[Kumar, C. S. C., Loh, W. S., Ooi, C. W., Quah, C. K. & Fun, H. K. (2013). Molecules, 18, 11996-12011.]). In a continuation of our work on the synthesis of new chalcones and studies of their NLO properties (Tejkiran et al., 2016[Tejkiran, P. J., Brahma Teja, M. S., Sai Siva Kumar, P., Sankar, P., Philip, R., Naveen, S., Lokanath, N. K. & Nageswara Rao, G. (2016). J. Photochem. Photobiol. Chem. 324, 33-39.]; Chidan et al. 2016[Chidan Kumar, C. S., Shetty, T. C. S., Chia, T. S., Chandraju, S., Dharmaprakash, S. M., Fun, H. K. & Quah, K. (2016). Mater. Res. Innovations, pp. 1-8.]), we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The structure of the mol­ecule is shown in Fig. 1[link]. The mol­ecule is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.32 (17)° between the bromo­phenyl and the nitro­phenyl rings that are bridged by the enone unit. This value is less than the value of 19.13 (15)° reported earlier between the aromatic rings in the related chalcone derivative (E)-3-(2,3-di­chloro­phen­yl)-1-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one (Naveen et al., 2016[Naveen, S., Dileep Kumar, A., Ajay Kumar, K., Manjunath, H. R., Lokanath, N. K. & Warad, I. (2016). IUCrData, 1, x161800.]). The carbonyl group at C7 lies close to the plane of the olefinic double bond and bromo­phenyl ring as indicated by the O1—C7—C8—C9 and O1—C7—C6—C5 torsion angles of −3.9 (6) and 5.2 (5)° respectively.

In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked via weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]), forming chains propagating along the c-axis direction, Fig. 2[link].

Synthesis and crystallization

2-Bromo­aceto­phenone (1.99 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 4-nitro­benzaldehyde (1.51 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in methanol (20 ml). To this, a catalytic amount of NaOH was added slowly, drop-by-drop with constant stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 h. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed with distilled water and finally recrystallized from methanol to give the pure chalcone. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown by slow evaporation of an acetone solution (m.p. 324–325 K).

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
