In the mononuclear complex mol­ecule of the title compond, [ZnCl2(C18H18N2O)2]·2C18H18N2O, the Zn atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by phenolate O atoms in a tetra­hedral coordination geometry. The coordinated Schiff base uses its indole NH donor site to form a hydrogen bond to the negatively charged phenolate O atom of the uncoordinated zwitterionic Schiff base. There is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond in the coordinated and uncoordinated Schiff bases. The indole NH site of the uncoordinated Schiff base does not engage in a hydrogen-bond inter­action. The CH2—CH2 group in the uncoordinated Schiff base is disordered equally over two positions.

Comment top

The reaction of zinc acetate with 2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyliminomethy]phenol, a neutral Schiff base (Rodriguez et al., 1987) furnishes the expected zinc complex with the deprotonated ligand in which the deprotonated ligand N,O-chelates to the metal center (Chen et al., 2007). Similarly, the reaction of zinc acetate with the 4-methyl substituted Schiff base (the methyl substituent is para to the negatively-charged phenoxy group) affords the corresponding tetrahdral zinc compound; the structure of the Schiff base itself is not known.

On the other hand, the 4-methyl substituted Schiff base of 2-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylimino-1-ethy]phenol exists in the zwitterionic form; the presence of methyl group on the imino –C=N– double-bond probably induces charge separation (Ali et al., 2007). 2-[2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethylimino-1-ethy]phenol in the title cocrystal is a zwitterionic species; it coordinates to zinc chloride, so that the coordination geometry at the metal center is an Cl2O2Zn tetraheron. The compound crystallizes as a cocrystal (Scheme I, Fig. 1). Both the coordinated and free zwitterionis have an intramolecular N···O hydrogen bond. The coordinated Schiff base uses its N–Hindolyl donor site to form a hydrogen bond to the negatively-charged phenolato-O atom of the free Schiff base. The N–Hindolyl site of the free Schiff base does not engage in a hydrogen-bonding interaction.

Experimental top

The Schiff base was synthesized by condensing 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethylamine with 2-hydroxyacetophenone. The compound (0.50 g, 1.79 mmol) and zinc chloride (1.21 g, 0.89 mol) were heated in ethanol (10 ml) for an hour along with a small quantity (0.02 g) of sodium hydride. The compound was recrystallized from ethanol.

Refinement top

The ethylene linkage in the free Schiff base is disordered over two position; these were arbitrarily assigned 0.5 site occupancies; the temperature factors of the primed atoms were set to those of the unprimed atoms. The N3–C27 and N3–C27' were restrained to within 0.01 Å of each other; the four C–C bonds were restrained to 1.50±0.01 Å.

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.93 to 0.98 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5U(C). The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with an N–H distance restraint of 0.86±0.01 Å; their temperature factors were freely refined.
