Comment top

Schiff base ligands have received considerable attention during the last decades, mainly because of their structures or for their biological properties (Bedia et al., 2006). We report here the crystal structure of the title new Schiff base compound, (I).

In (I) (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable to the values observed in similar compounds (Nie et al., 2008; Fun et al., 2008; Alhadi et al., 2008). The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings in the Schiff base molecule is 4.51 (18) °, indicating that two these rings are approximately coplanar.

Weak intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules related by translation along axis a into ribbons.

Experimental top

Benzohydrazide (5.0 mmol), 20 ml ethanol and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (5.0 mmol) were mixed in 50 ml flash. After refluxing 3 h, the resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature, and recrystalized from ethanol, and afforded the title compound as a crystalline solid. Elemental analysis: calculated for C16H17N3O: C 71.89, H 6.41, N 15.72%; found: C 71.63, H 6.55, N 15.64%.

Refinement top

All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (N—H 0.86 and C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5 Ueq(C, N). In the absence of any significant anomalous scatterers in the molecule, 1489 Friedel pairs were merged before the final refinement.

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.
