(Received 3 December 2008; accepted 4 December 2008; online 10 December 2008)

In the title compound, C8H9N5, a Schiff base derived from N-methyl­pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, the C=N double bond linking the two aromatic rings has a Z conformation. The two rings are twisted by 24.20 (5)°. A chain motif results from N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

1,2,4-triazole ring is a basic aromatic ring and it possess various medicinal properties. The title compound (I), has been prepared to utilize it as an intermediate ligand and for complexation with various metals.

In the crystal structure of (I), (Fig 1), the pyrrole ring A(N1,C2—C5) is connected to the 1,2,4 triazole ring B(C7/N3/N4/C8/N5) through the Shiff bond C==N. There exist an intramolecular and an intermolecular H-bond (Fig 2), Table 1. The bond distances and bond angles of ring B are compareable as observed in the same moiety of 3-(2-Benzamidophenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- 5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium chloride (Arfan et al., 2008). Due to intermolecular H-bonding, the compound forms polymeric sheets. The dihedral angle between the rings A and B is 24.20 (5)°. The molecules are stabilized due to π-π interactions between the centroids CgA and CgB of rings A and B respectively. The centroid to centroid, CgA···CgBi [Symmetry code: i = 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] and CgB···CgAii [Symmetry code: ii = - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] is 3.9008 (8) and 3.9009 (8) Å, respectively.

Experimental top

N-methyl pyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde (1.047 ml, 0.01 M) in methanol solution (10 ml) was added to magnetically stirred methanol solution (20 ml) of 3-amino 1,2,4 triazole (0.84 g m, 0.01 M) and mixture refluxed for 5 h through monitoring by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the resultant mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered and reduced nearly half of its volume by rotary. It was then allowed to stay at room temperature for 2 days which resulted in the formation of a colorless solid product. It was filtered, washed with methanol and recrystallized with a mixture of ethanol:methanol (1:1).

Refinement top

H-atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.96 Å for methyl carbon and constrained to ride on their parent atom. The coordinates of all other H-atoms were refined. The Uiso(H) = xUeq(C, N), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and x = 1.2 for all other H atoms.

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

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.
