Abstract
The title compound was synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The analysis of the crystal packing of the title compound and its analog, bearing a nitro group instead of a nitrile one, allowed a direct comparison of two common explosophoric groups: CN and NO2. By using ΔOED-based densification approach, it is shown that the CN group is lighter in mass, less dense, and participates in intermolecular bonding to a lesser extent in comparison to the NO2 group. As a result, the cyano compound has a lower density and a looser crystal packing than the nitro analog.
