Crystal structures of two bis(iodomethyl)benzene derivatives: similarities and differences in the crystal packing

The isomeric derivatives 1,2-bis(iodomethyl)benzene, (I), and 1,3-bis(iodomethyl)benzene (II), both C8H8I2, were prepared by metathesis from their dibromo analogues. The ortho-derivative, (I), lies about a crystallographic twofold axis that bisects the C—C bond between the two iodomethyl substituent...
