2,2'-Dichloro-1,1'-[(pentane-1,5-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dibenzene was synthesized according to an analogous method reported earlier (Dong et al., 2009). To an ethanol solution (4 ml) of o-chlorobenzaldehyde (394.1 mg, 2.80 mmol) was added an ethanol absolute (3 ml) of 1, 5-bis(aminooxy)pentane (187.9 mg, 1.40 mmol). The mixture solution was stirred at 328 K for 8 h. After cooling to room temperature, no precipitate was formed, when the mixture solution was concentrated to about 1 ml under reduced pressure, and cooled to room temperature, the precipitate was filtered, and washed successively with ethanol and n-hexane, respectively. The product was dried under vacuum and purified with recrystallization from ethanol to yield 119.1 mg of the title compound. Yield, 24.7%. m. p. 327–328 K. Anal. Calcd. for C19H20Cl2N2O2: C, 60.17; H, 5.32; N, 7.39. Found: C, 60.10; H, 5.53; N, 7.27.
Colorless needle-like single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained after one month by slow evaporation from a methanol solution of the title compound.
Non-H atoms were refined anisotropically. H atoms were treated as riding atoms with distances C—H = 0.97 Å (CH2), 0.93 Å (CH), and Uiso(H) = 1.20 Ueq(C).

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 are one kind of important stereochemical models in transition metal coordination chemistry due to their ease of preparation and structural variations (Granovski et al., 1993) and play an important role in the development of coordination chemistry owing to forming stable complexes with most of the transition metals or nontransition metals, in which many could exhibit intresting properties, including magnetic, optics and catalysis (Ghosh et al., 2006; Ward et al., 2007). In view of these facts and in continuation of our works on the synthesis and structural characterization of Schiff base bisoxime compounds (Dong et al., 2008a), here we report synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).
The single-crystal structure of the title compound has a crystallographic inversion centre (symmetry code: -x, -y, -z) and twofold screw axis (symmetry code: -x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 - z), and adopts a linear configuration. This structure is not similar to what was observed in our previously reported series bisoxime compounds containing five-methene bridge, which assume a W-shape configuration (Dong et al., 2008b) and distorted Z configuration (Sun et al., 2009). The dihedral angle between the two halves of the molecule is 5.14 (2)°. Intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2) link the neighbouring molecules into an infinite zigzag chain supramolecular structure.
