The compound 2-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)iminomethyl]-4-nitrophenylen-1-olate was prepared by reflux a mixture of a solution containing 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde(0.0574 g 0.34 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol and a solution containing p-Anisidine (0.0423 g 0.34 mmol) in 20 ml e thanol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hunder reflux. The crystals of (E)-2-[(4-Methoxyphenylimino)methyl]-4-nitrophenol suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from ethylalcohol by slow evaporation (yield % 41; m.p.445–446 K).
All H atoms (expect for H1) were positioned geometrically and treated using a riding model, fixing the bond lengths at 0.93 and 0.96 Å for CH(aromatic) and CH3, respectively. The displacement parameters of the H atoms were constrained as Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Caromatic) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). The position of the H1 atom was obtained from a difference map and this atom was refined freely.

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. |

Schiff base compounds can be classified by their photochromic and thermochromic characteristics. Photochromism and thermochromism produced by the reversible intramolecular proton transfer associated with a change in π-electron configuration. Schiff bases display two possible tautomeric forms, the phenol-imine and the keto-amine forms. We report here on the crystal structure of the title compound, 2-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)iminomethyl]-4-nitrophenylen-1-olate, (I). The molecular structure of the compound (I) is described as an intermediate state between NH and OH tautomers. The bond lengths of the compound are intermediate between single and double C—O (1.362 and 1.222 Å, respectively) and C—N bond lengths (1.339 and 1.279 Å, respectively), (Allen et al., 1987). In particular, C6—O1 bond length (1.318 Å) is significantly shorter than its expected value.
The molecular structure of 2-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)iminomethyl]-4- nitrophenylen-1-olate is shown in Fig. 1. The conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond. It is a well known fact that H atoms participating in intramolecular hydrogen bonds in Schiff bases are rather mobile. The molecule can be regarded as having an intermediate state between its canonical OH and NH forms, and therefore the O1—H1 bond (1.246 Å) remains somewhat longer than its expected value. On the other hand, the C3—N2 bond length [1.4521 (18) Å] in title compound is as expected and also is in agreement with the corresponding distances [1.4671 (18) Å (Zeller & Hunter, 2004) and 1.456 (4) Å (Glidewell et al., 2004)] for compounds that contain a nitro group.
The molecule is nearly planar and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 3.28 (7) Å. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds generating centrosymmetric R22(18) and R22(14) dimers.
