(Received 8 July 2010; accepted 11 July 2010; online 17 July 2010)

The title compound, C19H15ClN2, adopts an E configuration with respect to the position of the chloro­benzene and diphenyl­amine groups on the C=N azomethine bond. The mol­ecule is not planar, the central six-membered ring making angles of 12.26 (10) and 44.18 (11)° with the 4-chloro­phenyl and phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, weak C—H⋯π inter­actions contribute to the stabilization of the packing.

Comment top

The continuing study on Schiff bases are driven not only because of their application as ligands but also because of their biological (Singh & Dhakarey, 2009) and pharmaceutical properties and as corrosion inhibitors (Küstü et al., 2007).

The title compound, C19H15N2Cl (I), is a Schiff base having chlorobenzylidene and phenyl groups attached at the terminal nitrogen atoms of the 1,4-diaminobenzene group (Fig.1). The whole molecule is not planar. Each benzene ring is planar with a maximum deviation of 0.011 (2) Å for the C6 atom from the (C1—C6) ring. The middle (C8—C13) ring makes angles of 12.26 (10)° and 44.18 (11)° with the (C1—C6) and (C14—C19) rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between (C1—C6) and (C14—C19) rings is 56.00 (11)°. The E conformation about the C7=N1 double bond is also observed in N,N' -bis(2-methoxybenzylidene)-p-phenylenediamine (II) with an angle of 12.10 (15)° between the mean planes of the benzene rings (Ojala et al., 2007). The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those in (II) and 2-{(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenl]imino-methyl}phenol (Fun et al., 2008).

In the crystal structure, the molecule is stablized by C—H..π interactions, C1—H1B ···Cg3 (C14—C19) and C16—H16A···Cg1 (C1—C6) with H···Cg distances of 2.95 and 2.90 Å, and C—H···Cg angles of 135 and 136°, respectively.

Experimental top

4-Chlorobenzaldehyde (0.7029 g, 0.005 mol) in 15 ml of ethanol and N-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (0.9212 g, 0.005 mol) in 10 ml of ethanol were mixed in a round bottom flask. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at about 30 °C. The mixture was left to cool down in an ice bath. A green solid was collected and washed with cold ethanol. Green crystals were obtained by recrystallization from toluene (yield 72%; melting point: 408–411 K; CHNS: C, 74.38; H, 4.93; N, 9.13. Found: C, 74.09; H, 4.91; N, 9.08.

The H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)= 1.2 x Ueq (C or N).

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.

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.
