Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-2-{[(2-iodo­phen­yl)imino]­meth­yl}-6-methyl­phenol

The title compound, C(14)H(12)INO, was synthesized by condensation of 2-hy­droxy-3-methyl­benzaldehyde and 2-iodo­aniline, and crystallizes in the ortho­rhom­bic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The 2-iodo­phenyl and benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 31.38 (2)°. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, resulting in the formation of sheets along the a-axis direction. Within the sheets, very weak π–π stacking inter­actions lead to additional stabilization. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that the crystal structure is dominated by H⋯H (37.1%) and C⋯H (30.1%) contacts. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin.
