(Received 8 December 2013; accepted 18 December 2013; online 24 December 2013)

In the title compound, C13H11ClN4O3, the phenyl and pyrrolyl ring are linked by an ac­yl–hydrazone (R2C=N—N—CO—R) group, forming a slightly bent mol­ecule: the dihedral angle subtended by the the phenyl and pyrrolyl rings is 8.46 (12)°. In the crystal, the three-dimensional supra­molecular structure is assembled by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. Mol­ecular sheets are formed parallel to (101) in a herringbone arrangement by weak van der Waals inter­actions; weak ππ [centroid–centroid phen­yl–phenyl and pyrrol­yl–pyrrolyl distances of 3.7816 (3) and 3.8946 (2) Å, respectively] inter­actions occur between neighbouring sheets.

Comment top

A great number of aroylhydrazones (AH) have triggered wide interest because of their diverse spectra of biological and pharmaceutical properties (Raja, et al., 2012). In our lab, the AH compound (E)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide (L) and its transition metal complexes were obtained and characterized. The interaction of these compounds with CT-DNA and pBR322 DNA has been explored (Wang, et al., 2014). The present report is an extension of our earlier studies in this area.

In the title compound (Fig. 1), C13H11ClN4O3, the phenyl and pyrrolyl ring are linked by acyl-hydrazone (R2C=N–N–CO–R) to form a slightly bent molecule. The dihedral angle between the phenyl (C8—C13) and pyrrolyl rings (C2—C5, N1) is 8.46 (12)°.

As shown in Figure 2, the herringbone molecular sheet of the title compound is formed by weak van-der-Waals interactions along (101) plane.

The three-dimensional supramolecular structure (Fig. 3) is assembled by N3–H3···O1i hydrogen bonding (pink dotted lines) and weak Cg1···Cg1ii (Cg1 is the centroid of the phenyl ring) and Cg2···Cg2iii (Cg2 is the centroid of the pyrrolyl ring) interactions (black dotted lines) between the neighbouring molecular sheets [symmetry code: (i) x, 3/2 - y, 1/2 + z; (ii)1 - x, 2 - y, 2 – z; (iii) - x, 1 - y, 2 - z]. The data of hydrogen-bond geometry are given in Table 1.

Experimental top

Single crystals of the title compound were obtained accidentally in the attempted synthesis of a Ni complex. (E)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrrole-2-carbohydrazide (L) was synthesized according to literature procedures (Wang et al., 2014). Sodium methoxide (250 µL, 3%, g/V) was added to solution of L (0.50 mmol, 0.144 g) in 15 ml MeOH and was heated to reflux. NiCl2·6H2O (0.50 mmol, 0.119 g) was then added to the refluxing mixture and further refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The mixture was filtered and washed with methanol. The L—Ni complex is not achieved as predicted. However, orange single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after several days from the mother liquor by slow evaporation.

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.
