3-(4-Iodo­phen­yl)penta­nedi­nitrile

In the title penta­nedi­nitrile derivative, C11H9IN2, the iodo­phenyl group is connected at the 3-position. The central propyl­ene chain of the penta­nedi­nitrile moiety contains one gauche conformation as a result of steric repulsion with the phenyl ring. Inter­molecular close contacts in the crystal comprise a weak Csp3—H⋯N hydrogen bond and a C—I⋯N halogen bond.
