The title compound, C17H18N6O2·0.5CH3OH, exists in the double keto form and adopts a highly puckered geometry, stabilized by intramolecular N-H
O and N-H
N hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular N-H
N hydrogen bonds and

stacking interactions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.654 (1) Å] assemble the molecules into chains running in the [111] direction. The methanol solvent molecule is disordered over two sites related by inversion and forms a bifurcated O-H
(N,O) hydrogen bond.
2-Picoloylhydrazine (0.548 g, 4 mmol) and ice acetic acid (0.48 g, 8 mmol) were added to a mixture of methanol/glycol (25 ml, 3:2), then 0.21 ml of acetylacetone (0.205 g, 2.05 mmol) was added and reacted for 3 h at 323–333 K. The solution was cooled to room temperature. After the solution was allowed to stand for three weeks, colourless blocks of (I) were obtained. When recrystallised from pure methanol, the same compound arises. Yield: 0.591 g, 81.5%. m.p.: 585–587 K. Anal. for C17.5H20N6O2.5: Calc. C, 59.25; H, 5.64; N, 23.70; Found: C, 59.21; H, 5.48; N, 23.38%.
The methanol solvent molecule is disordered over two adjacent sites related by inversion.
All the H atoms were placed in idealized positions (C-H = 0.93-0.97Å, N-H = 0.88Å, O-H = 0.82Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).
The highest difference peak is 0.80Å from C2.

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. |

After assembling successfully two azametallacrowns based on N-acyl-3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarbohydrazide (Dou et al., 2006), and as an extension of our work on the structures of aroylhydrazine derivatives, the title compound, (I), was synthesized and characterized.
In compound (I), the C6—O1 and C12—O2 distances are 1.225 (3) Å, 1.227 (3)Å respectively, indicating that the molecule of (I) exists in the double keto form (Liu et al., 2004), and the distances of N(1)—N(2), C(3)—N(1) and C(1)—N(2) are 1.399 (3) Å, 1.492 (3)Å and 1.266 (3)Å (Table 1), which are in agreement with these of analogous compounds (Mukhopadhyay & Pal, 2004). The title molecule is chiral: in the arbitrarily chosen asymmetric unit, C3 has R configuration, but crystal symmetry generates a racemic mixture.
The three rings in (I), 2-picoloyl ring (A), pyrazoline ring (B) and 2-picoloylhydrazido ring (C), make dihedral angles of 65.5 (2)(A/B), 56.4 (1)(B/C) and 95.5 (1)° (A/C) respectively, showing the whole molecule exhibits highly puckered geometry.
There is intramolecular N4—H4···O1 hydrogen bond, which further stabilizes the molecular configuration (Fig. 1, Table 1), whereas double intermolecular N3—H3···N4 hydrogen bonds link molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are assembled into chains along [111] through intermolecular π–π interactions between pyridine rings with a centrosymmetric-centrosymmetric distance of 3.654 (1)Å [Cg is a centroid of N6/C13—C17; symmetry code: (ii) -x, 1 - y, 1 - z] (Fig. 2).
