Crystal structure, DFT study and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-nonyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-2,3-dione

In the title molecule, C17H23NO2, the dihydroindole portion is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0157 Å) and the nonyl substituent is in an 'extended' conformation. In the crystal, the nonyl chains intercalate and the dihydro-indoledione units are associated through C-H O hydrogen bonds to form micellar blocks. Based on the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the most important intermolecular interaction is the H H interaction. © 2019 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
