(Received 24 August 2009; accepted 4 September 2009; online 9 September 2009)

The title compound, C14H10Cl2N2O, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-chloro­benzaldehyde with an equimolar quantity of 4-chloro­benzohydrazide in methanol. The mol­ecule displays an E configuration about the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c axis.

Comment top

In the last few years, the crystal structures of a large number of hydrazone compounds have been reported (Mohd Lair et al., 2009; Fun et al., 2008; Li & Ban, 2009; Zhu et al., 2009; Yang, 2007; You et al., 2008). As a continuation of our work in this area (Qu et al., 2008; Yang et al., 2008; Cao & Lu, 2009a,b; Cao, 2009a,b), the title new hydrazone compound, derived from the reaction of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde with an equimolar quantity of 4-chlorobenzohydrazide, is reported.

In the title compound, Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.6 (2)°. The molecule displays an E configuration about the CN bond. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds, Table 1, to form chains running along the c axis, Fig. 2.

Experimental top

The compound was prepared by refluxing equimolar quantities of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde with 4-chlorobenzohydrazide in methanol. Colorless block-like crystals were formed by slow evaporation of the solution in air.

Refinement top

H2 was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with the N—H distance restrained to 0.90 (1) Å. The other H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) set at 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
