Supporting information


Comment top

Schiff bases exhibit biological activity and they are widely used as ligands in metal complexes (Calligaris & Randaccio 1987).

In the title compound the dihedral angle between the benzene rings rings is 43.99 (2)°. The N?C and N—C bond lengths, 1.264 (10) Å and 1.417 (10) Å, respectively, agree with literature values (Akkaya et al., 2007; Atalay et al., 2006). The Br1—C4 and C1—O1 bond lengths are 1.878 (9) Å and 1.371 (12) Å, respectively, in good agreement with the literature (Atalay et al., 2005). The molecular conformation is influenced by an O—H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1, Fig. 1).

Experimental top

The title compound, (E)-2-[(4-ethylphenylimino)methyl]-4-bromophenol, was prepared by refluxing a mixture of a solution containing 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (0.05 ml, 0.25 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol and a solution containing 4-ethylaniline (0.03 g, 0.25 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h under reflux. Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from an acetonitrile solution by slow evaporation (yield 84%; m.p. 385–386 K).

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å for Csp2, 0.97 Å for methylene and 0.96 Å for methyl; O—H = 0.82 Å. Uiso(H) = xUeq(carrier atom), where x = 1.5 for O and 1.2 for all C atoms. The value of Rint is rather high because of the poor data quality.

Special details top

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.
