Comment
In continuation of our study of carbazole derivatives (Zhou et al., 2007, 2008) we present here the title compound, (I). In (I) (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles show normal values comparable with those observed in the related compounds (Zhou et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2009). Two outer rings form a dihedral angle of 0.43 (8) °. The crystal packing exhibits no essentially short intermolecular contacts.
Experimental
A 50 ml round bottom flask was charged with 9-hexlylcarbazole (2.51 g, 10 mmol) and 10 ml e thanol. ICl (2.50 g, 15 mmol, dissolved in 4 ml ethanol) was added to the stirring solution at 343 k after 9-(hex-1-yl)-3-iodocarbazole was completely dissolved. At the end of the reaction was judged by TLC analysis after 2 h. The solution was filtered through filter paper and precipitates were obtained as a light blue solid in 89% (4.48 g) yield.
Refinement
All hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5Ueq(C).

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
