Abstract
The well-known CO···X interactions control the crystal packing of o-haloaromatic carboxaldehydes as revealed by the X-ray crystal structures of a set of aldehydes 2−8. The intramolecular C−H···X interaction causes the CO···X interactions to manifest in a readily recognizable pattern of association, i.e., synthon 1. The robustness of synthon 1 is amply suggested from the isostructurality exhibited by the dichloro- and dibromo-dialdehydes 3,6 and 4,7. Further, it is found that the aldehyde 2, which can exploit the CO···Br interactions in two distinct ways crystallizes in two crystal modifications.
