2,3-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.2 mmol) and 1,3-propanediamine (0.1 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (50 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h to give a clear solution. Suitable crystals of the title compound for X-ray study were formed by slow evaporation of the solvent over 8 days at room temperature (Yield 85%).
All hydrogen atoms were discernible in difference Fourier maps and could be refined to reasonable geometry. According to common practice they were nevertheless kept in ideal positions during the
The isotropic atomic displacement parameters of hydrogen atoms were set to 1.2*Ueq of the parent atom.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Oxford Diffraction, 2009); cell

Refinement. The refinement was carried out against all reflections. The conventional R-factor is always based on F. The goodness of fit as well as the weighted R-factor are based on F and F2 for refinement carried out on F and F2, respectively. The threshold expression is used only for calculating R-factors etc. and it is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. The program used for refinement, Jana2006, uses the weighting scheme based on the experimental expectations, see _refine_ls_weighting_details, that does not force S to be one. Therefore the values of S are usually larger than the ones from the SHELX program. |

Schiff bases range among the most chelating ligands found in the field of coordination chemistry (Morshedi et al., 2009a,b). Their compounds with transition metals have wide applications in the field of magnetism (Gao et al., 2003) and catalysis (Ardizzoia et al., 2009). The title compound has been studied as an extension of our work on the structural characterization of bidentate Schiff base compounds with di- and trimethoxy benzaldehyde (Khalaji et al., 2007 and Dehno Khalaji et al., 2009).
The molecule of the title compound is shown in Fig.1. All bond lengths and angles are comparable with those observed in similar compounds (Khalaji et al., 2007 and Dehno Khalaji et al., 2009). The C7=N1 and C11=N2 bond lengths of 1.264 (2) and 1.263 (2) Å, respectively, conform to the value for a double bonds while C8—N1 and C10—N2 bond lengths of 1.458 (2) and 1.458 (2) Å, respectively, conform to the value for single bonds. The molecule displays an E configuration around the C=N double bond. The azomethine groups are coplanar with the aromatic rings. The dihedral angle between two phenyl rings is 8.16 (8)°. The neigbouring molecules are interconnected by C—H···O hydrogen bonds to infinite chains. These chains are linked by C—H···π interactions into sheets (Fig. 2).
