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-H
O hydrogen bond involving the amine H atom and the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal structure, symmtry-related molecules are connected by intermolecular O-H
N and C-H
O hydrogen bonds and C-H
interactions.
The NH hydrogen atom was located from a difference Fourier map and freely refined, N—H = 0.86 (2) Å. The remainder of the H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: O—H = 0.82 Å and C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 \%A, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O) and 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

In last decades, extensive investigations have been undertaken to design and synthesize pyrazole-based tridentate ligands, with the aim of mimiking structures and functions of some metalloenzymes (Trofimenko, 1993). Our interests have been focused on the design and syntheses of flexible N,O,N ligands derived from pyrazoles and triazoles since a certain flexibility might afford coordination versitality of the ligands. We have therefore designed and synthesized a number of such ligands as well as their transition-metal complexes (Zhang, Dou et al., 2007; Zhang, Yin et al., 2006; Zhang, Zhou et al., 2007). Here we report on the structure of a new N,O,N tridentate ligand, 2-(benzotriazolylmethylamino)benzoic acid.
The molecular structure of the title compound is illustrated in Fig. 1. Details of the hydrogen bonding and C—H···\p interactions are given in Table 1. The molecule is V-shaped with the best plane through the benzotriazole moiety (planar to within 0.013 (2) Å) inclined by 67.7 (1)° to the best plane through the benzene ring (C8—C13). In the molecule there is an intra-molecular N—H···O hydrogen bond involving the amine (N4) hydrogen, H4D, and the carbonyl O-atom, O1 (Table 1).
In the crystal structure symmetry related molecules form dimers via C—H···π interactions involving C12—H12 and the benzene ring [(C1—C6 = Cg2iii]. Adjacent molecules are linked by O2—H2···N3i hydrogen bonds to form zigzag chains parallel to the a axis, and these chains are further linked by C7—H7A···O1ii intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
