Abstract
The title co-crystal, C 8 H 3 Br 2 NO 2 ·0.5C 14 H 10, was self-assembled from a 2:1 mixture of the components in slowly evaporating dichloromethane. The molecules adopt a sheet structure parallel to (1-12) in which carboxy hydrogen-bonded dimers and anthracene molecules stagger in both dimensions. Within the sheets, six individual cyano acid molecules surround each anthracene molecule. Cyano acid molecules form one of the two possible R 2 2 (10) rings between neighboring cyano and bromo groups. Compared to the dichloro analog [Britton (2012). J. Chem. Crystallogr. 42, 851-855], the dihedral angle between the best-fit planes of acid and anthracene molecules has decreased from 7.1 to 0.9(2)°.
