In the title Schiff base, C22H20N2O2, the benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 53.92 (1) and 3.62 (1)° with the two salicylaldimine groups. There are two strong O—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and ππ stacking inter­actions (average distance 3.39 Å).

Comment top

Schiff bases have been used extensively as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry. Some of the reasons are that the intramolecular hydrogen bond between the O and N atoms plays an important role in the formation of metal complexes, and that Schiff base compounds show photochromism and thermochromism in the solid state by proton transfer from the hydroxyl O atom to the imine N atom (Cohen et al., 1964). On the basis of structural studies on photochromic and thermochromic salicylaldimine derivatives it was concluded that there is a significant difference in crydtal packing of these molecules: molecules exhibiting thermochromism are planar while those showing photochromism are non-planar (Cohen et al., 1964). In other words, photochromic salicylideneanilines are packed rather loosely in the crystal, in which nonplanar molecules may undergo some conformational changes, while thermochromic salicylideneanilines are packed tightly to form one-dimensional columns. With the aim of gaining a deeper insight into the structural aspects responsible for the observed phenomenon in the solid state, conformational and crystallographic analysis of the non-planar tetra-dentate title compound (I), has been carried out and the results are presented in this paper.

The molecular structure of (I) is illustrated in Fig. 1.

The title molecule is not planar. The salicylaldimine groups C1—C7 (A) and C16—C22 (B) are twisted relative to the phenylene spacer and the angles between the spacer and the salicylaldimino parts A and B are 53.92 (1) and 3.62 (1)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the salicylaldimine groups A and B is equal to 56.23 (2)°.

In the title molecule there are intramolecular hydrogen bonds between between O1 and N1 and between O2 and N2 atoms (Table 1). Clearly, the enolimine tautomer is favoured over the ketamine form. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds C—H···O (Table 1) and π···π stacking interactions between benzene ring and salicylaldimine group B.

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.
