Supporting information
The Schiff base was prepared by refluxing a solution of indole-3-acetic acid hydrazide (0.34 g, 1.80 mmol) and 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde (0.30 g, 1.80 mmol) in acidified ethanol (25 ml) for 2 h. On cooling to room temperature, yellow crystals separated out.
All H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95, N—H 0.88, O–H 0.84 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C,N,O).

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. |

There are many examples of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of salicylaldehyde and substituted salicyldehydes with hydrazides such as the ones reported by Martin Reyes et al. (1986) and Martin Zarza et al. (1989). The title compound (Fig. 1) is another example. The molecule uses its amido –NH– group to form a hydrogen bond to the amido –C(=O)– group of an adjacent molecule to furnish a linear chain structure.
