Y. Wang, M.-H. Yin and G.-F. Zhang

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₂, a new N,O,N'-tridentate ligand, is V-shaped with the mean plane through the benzotriazole system [planar to within 0.013 (2) Å] inclined by 67.7 (1)° to the mean plane through the benzene ring. In the molecule there is an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond involving the amine H atom and the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal structure, symmtry-related molecules are connected by intermolecular O-HN and C-HO hydrogen bonds and C-H interactions.
