The title compound was synthesized by the condensation of salicylaldehyde and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. A mixture of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (0.59 mmol) in MeOH (10 ml) and salicylaldehyde (1 mmol) in MeOH (10 ml) was refluxed for 3 h under an N2 atmosphere and allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The yellow solid product was isolated by filtration and washed with MeOH (yield: 61%). Pale-yellow single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution (m.p. 480 K). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 2.29 (s, 12H, CH3), 6.95–7.10 (m, 4H, Ph), 7.22–7.75 (m, 8H, Ph), 8.41 (s, 2H,CH).
H atoms were included in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å) and refined using a riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O). The crystals showed poor diffraction quality which resulted in a rather high Rint value (0.101) and a low ratio of observed to unique reflections (44%).

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. |

Multidentate Schiff base ligands and their metal complexes have been studied for many years (Daier et al., 2004; Munro & Camp, 2003; Weber, 1967). These complexes play an important role in the development of coordination chemistry related to magnetism, catalysis and molecular architectures. As a continuation of our previous work (Xu et al., 2001), we report here the structure of the title compound, (I).
Compound (I) crystallizes in the space group P21/c. Selected bond distances and angles are listed in Table 1. The molecule contains four aromatic rings (Fig. 1). The dihedral angles formed by the C1–C6 and C25–C30 phenol rings with the adjacent C8–C13 and C16–C21 dimethylbenzene rings are 60.14 (11) and 77.57 (11)°, respectively. These angles are remarkably larger than that formed by the dimethylbenzene rings [39.65 (11)°], possibly due to the concomitant effects of the steric hindrance of the methyl groups and the presence of two intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen-bond interactions (Table 2). There are neither π–π stacking nor weak intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions, and the crystal packing (Fig. 2) is controlled by van der Waals forces.
