Crystal structures of 6-chloroindan-1-one and 6-bromoindan-1-one exhibit different intermolecular packing interactions

The two title compounds are analogs of 1-indanone that are substituted at the 6-position with chlorine and bromine. Although very similar in molecular structure, the crystal structures are not isomorphous and reveal that 6-chloroindan-1-one, C9H7ClO (I), and 6-bromoindan-1-one, C9H7BrO (II), exhibit...
