Abstract top

The title compound, C28H28N2O4, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-acetyl-1-naphthol with 1,4-bis(aminooxy)butane in ethanol. The molecule, which lies about an inversion centre, adopts a linear structure, in which the oxime groups and naphthalene ring systems assume an anti conformation. The intramolecular interplanar distance between parallel naphthalene rings is 1.054 (3) Å. Intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bonds are formed between the oxime nitrogen and hydroxy groups.

Comment top

Salen-type compounds and their analogues are one of the most prevalent multidentate ligands in the field of modern coordination chemistry (Atwood & Harvey, 2001), which can coordinate to transition or rare earth ions yielding complexes with interesting properties that are useful in materials science and in biological systems (Okabe & Oya, 2000).

Herein, we report on the crystal structure of 2,2'-[(butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitriloethylidyne)]dinaphthol, shown in Fig. 1. The structure of the title compound consists of discrete C28H28N2O4 molecule, in which all bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges. The molecule is disposed about a crystallographic centre of symmetry with the (–CH═N—O-(CH)4—O—N═CH–) bridge adopting a linear-shaped structure. The oxime groups and naphthalene rings assume an anti conformation. This structure is not similar to what was observed in our previously reported series salen-type compounds containing four-methene bridge, which often adopt an E configuration (Dong et al., 2007, 2008).

The two naphthalene rings in each molecule of the title compound are parallel and the distance between them is 1.054 (3) Å. Two intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds are formed between the oxime nitrogen and hydroxy groups.

Experimental top

2,2'-[(Butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitriloethylidyne)]dinaphthol was synthesized according to our previous work (Dong et al., 2007). To an ethanol solution (5 ml) of 2-acetyl-1-naphthol (760.0 mg, 2.02 mmol) was added dropwise an ethanol solution (3 ml) of 1,4-bis(aminooxy)butane (243.0 mg, 1.01 mmol). The mixture solution was stirred at 328–333 K for 75 h. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered off, and washed successively three times with ethanol. The product was dried in vacuo and purified by recrystallization from ethanol to yield 618.6 mg (yield 67.0%) of powder. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation from a solution of ethanol/dichloromethane (1:2) of 2,2'-[(butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitriloethylidyne)]dinaphthol at room temperature for several weeks.

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.
