(Received 13 January 2013; accepted 23 January 2013; online 31 January 2013)

The title compound, C12H10N2O, a second monoclinic poly­morph of (E)-phen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone oxime crystallizes in the space group P21/n (Z = 4). The previously reported polymorph [Taga et al. (1990[Taga, T., Uchiyama, A., Machida, K. & Miyasaka, T. (1990). Acta Cryst. C46, 2241-2243.]). Acta Cryst. C46, 2241–2243] occurs in the space group C2/c (Z = 8). In the crystal, pairs of bifurcated O—H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into inversion dimers. The dimers are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a linear arrangement. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and phenyl rings is 67.70 (8)°.

Comment top

Oximes have been widely studied due to their biological and chemical properties, revealing, for instance, good activities as inhibitors of arginase (Custot et al., 1996). Oximes are also preferred intermediates in the synthesis of compounds with biological activity (Turner et al., 2011), for example, derivatives of Pyridine Oximes have been studied as antidotes against organophosphorus compounds poisoning, cytotoxic and antiviral agents,analgesic,antidepressants and tranquillizers (Abele et al., 2003). Additionally, pyridil oximes are used in the preparation of complexes with a variety of transition metals, binding to metals in different forms most commonly as chelates or serving as bridge to metals, and the resulting species have been employed in supramolecular and materials chemistry (Shokrollahi et al., 2008; Martinez et al., 2008). Herein we report a second polymorph of (E)-Phenyl 2-Pyridyl Ketone Oxime (I) (figure 1).

In comparison, compound II described previously (Taga et al., 1990), crystallized in a monoclinic (C2/c), while the title compound I crystallized in a space group P21/n. In compound I the dihedral angle between the pyridine and phenyl rings is 67.70° (8), the orientation of the pyridine ring with a N(2)—C(7)—C(8)—N(1) angle of -174.04° is different from that of the polymorph previously reported of 37.5 (2)° (Taga et al., 1990). The bonds distances C(7)—N(2) and N(2)—O(1) of the oxime group are close to those informed for their polymorph 1.283 (2) and 1.3391 (16) Å, respectively. In compound II was reported a bifurcated hydrogen bond between the OH group with the pyridine N atom and the oxime N atom. While in compound I the OH group forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond [O(1)—H(one-dimensional)···N(2) and O(1)—H(one-dimensional)···O(1)] with the oxime N atom and the hydroxyl O atom of the neighbouring oxime affording a centrosymmetric dimmer, these dimmers are kept together by C—H···π interactions (Figure 2).

Experimental top

The suitable crystal for X-ray study was obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of commercial (E)-Phenyl 2-Pyridyl Ketone Oxime in CH2Cl2.

Refinement top

H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions, and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H distances fixed to 0.95 (aromatic CH) with Uiso = 1.2 Ueq(C). The hydroxyl H atom was located in a difference map and was refined with free coordinates and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(O).

Special details top

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