In the title compound, C26H20N6O4, the two aroylhydrazone side groups exist as diastereomeres, both in the keto form in the crystal structure. The aroylhydrazone units support the molecular conformation through an intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bond. Two molecules are connected into a centrosymmetric dimer by intermolecular N-H
N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are connected into chains along the a axis by intermolecular O-H
O hydrogen bonds. The combination of these hydrogen bonds results in layers in the bc plane. The layers are further linked by weak C-H
contacts to form a three-dimensional network structure.
A mixture of 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-diformylhydrazide (0.272 g, 1 mmol), salicylaldehyde (2.5 mmol, 0.26 ml) and a drop of glacial acetic acid in ethanol (20 ml) was stirred at reflux temperature for 3 h. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was set aside to be crystallized. Yellow crystals suitable for the X-ray diffraction study were obtained after 5 d.
All of the non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. The hydrogen atoms were assigned with common isotropic displacement factors Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq(O), respectively, and included in the final refinement by using geometrical restraints, with C—H, N—H and O—H distances of 0.93, 0.86 and 0.82 Å.

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. |

Hydrazones and their metal complexes have gained a special attraction due to their biological activity (Rodriguez-Argüelles et al., 2004; Wiley & Clevenger, 1962). These compounds have also been proposed as chemosensors (Xiang et al., 2006), catalysts (Mino et al., 2001) and nucleophiles (Wood et al., 2004). Hydrazone ligands can coordinate with metal ions to produce stable metal complexes owing to their facile keto–enol tautomerism.
As shown in Fig. 1, two aroylhydrazone units are situated on both sides of the 2,2'-dipyridyl linking group which can decrease the steric hindrance among the pyridyl rings. The two aroylhydrazone side groups exist as diastereomeres, both in the keto form in the crystal structure. The aroylhydrazone units support the molecular conformation through an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1).
The dihedral angle between two pyridine rings of the 2,2'-dipyridyl group is 105.26 (2)°. The bond distances and angles are all in normal ranges. The distances of the C8—O2, C19—O3, N1—C7 and N6—C20 are 1.226 (2), 1.229 (2), 1.279 (2) and 1.280 (2) Å, respectively, which have the features of typical C═O and C═N double bonds (Chen et al., 2007). This confirms that the compound exists in the keto form.
A pair of intermolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonds connect two adjacent molecules into dimers via inversion centres (Fig. 2). These dimers are connected into chains along a axis by intermolecular O4—H4···O3 hydrogen bonds. The combination of both hydrogen bonds generate layers which extend along the b+c direction (Fig. 3). The layers are linked by weak C—H···π contacts (Table 1) to form a three-dimensional network structure. Cg3 and Cg4 are the centroids of the benzene rings C1–C6 and C21–C26, respectively. There is another intramolecular hydrogen bond, O1—H1···N1, which results from the planar geometry in the H1–O1–C1–C6–C7–N1 ring system (Table 1).
