Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies of 5-bromo-1-{2-[2-(2-chloro­eth­oxy)eth­oxy]eth­yl}indoline-2,3-dione

The title compound, C(14)H(15)BrClNO(4), consists of a 5-bromo­indoline-2,3-dione unit linked to a 1-{2-[2-(2-chloro­eth­oxy)eth­oxy]eth­yl} moiety. In the crystal, a series of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form a supramolecular three-dimensional structure, enclosing R (2) (2)(8), R (2) (2)(12), R (2) (2)(18) and R (2) (2)(22) ring motifs. π–π contacts between the five-membered dione rings may further stabilize the structure, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.899 (2) Å. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (28.1%), H⋯O/O⋯H (23.5%), H⋯Br/Br⋯H (13.8%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (13.0%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (10.2%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO—LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. The chloro­eth­oxy­ethoxyethyl side chain atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.665 (8):0.335 (6).
