The Schiff base molecule of the title compound, C14H12N4O6·C5H5N, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The C=N bond of the Schiff base has a trans arrangement and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 3.49 (10)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the Schiff base molecules.

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (1 mmol, 0.198 g) was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (15 ml), H2SO4(98%, 0.5 ml) was then added and the mixture was stirred for several minitutes at 351 K. Then, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 0.152 g) in ethanol (8 mm l) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at refluxing temperature for 3 h. The product was isolated and recrystallized from pyridine, red blocks of (I) were obtained after two weeks.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.96 Å(methyl) and N—H = 0.86 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(CH, CH2 or NH) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C).
The chemistry of Schiff base has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. These compounds play an important role in the development of various proteins and enzymes (Kahwa et al., 1986; Santos et al., 2001). As part of our in the study of the coordination chemistry of
we synthesized the title compound, (I), and determined its crystal structure.The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The benzene ring and the 2,4-dinitro benzene ring are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 3.49 (10)°. The dinitro group is coplanar with C9-benzene ring with a dihedral angle of 0.58 (8). Bond lengths and bond angles agree with those of other dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives (Ohba, 1996).
Intramolecular N—H···O and intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds are certainly responsible for the planar conformation of the molecule.

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. |

The chemistry of Schiff base has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. These compounds play an important role in the development of various proteins and enzymes (Kahwa et al., 1986; Santos et al., 2001). As part of our in the study of the coordination chemistry of Schiff bases, we synthesized the title compound, (I), and determined its crystal structure.
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. The benzene ring and the 2,4-dinitro benzene ring are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 3.49 (10)°. The dinitro group is coplanar with C9-benzene ring with a dihedral angle of 0.58 (8). Bond lengths and bond angles agree with those of other dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives (Ohba, 1996).
Intramolecular N—H···O and intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds are certainly responsible for the planar conformation of the molecule.
