title: Isomeric 3- and 4-chloro-N-[1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethylidene]aniline.
abstract: The title isomers, namely 3-chloro-N-[1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethylidene]aniline, (I), and 4-chloro-N-[1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethylidene]aniline, (II), both C12H11ClN2, differ in the position of the chlorine substitution. Both compounds have the basic iminopyrrole structure, which shows a planar backbone with similar features. The dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings is 75.65 (7)° for (I) and 86.56 (8)° for (II). The H atom bound to the pyrrole N atom is positionally disordered and partial protonation occurs at the imino N atom in (I), while this phenomenon is absent from the structure of (II). Packing interactions for both compounds include intermolecular N-H···N hydrogen bonds and C-H···π interactions, forming centrosymmetric dimers for both (I) and (II).
