Synthesis and crystal structure of (Z)-2-(6-chloroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)-3-[4-(di­methyl­amino)phen­yl]acrylo­nitrile

The structure of the title compound was determined at 100 K. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯N and C—H⋯Cl inter­molecular hydrogen bonds generating a network that extend along the [010] direction. I

The structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅ClN₄, was determined at low temperature (100 K). In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯N and C—H⋯Cl inter­molecular hydrogen bonds generating a network that extend along the [010] direction. In addition, C—H⋯π and π–π stacking inter­actions as well as inter­molecular contacts contribute to the cohesion of the structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the contributions to the surface for the H⋯H, H⋯N/ N⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H, H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H and C⋯C contacts are 30.2, 19.9, 28.6, 12.2 and 3.7%, respectively.
