The title Schiff base bisoxime compound, C20H24N2O6, lies across an inversion centre and adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. In the molecule, the oxime group is roughly coplanar with the benzene ring, forming a dihedral angle of 1.77 (2)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring with an S(6) motif. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

The title compound was synthesized according to the references reported by Dong et al. (2009a). To an ethanol solution (8 ml) of 5-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (304.3 mg, 2 mmol) was added an ethanol solution (4 ml) of 1,4-bis(aminooxy)butane (120.2 mg, 1 mmol). The reaction mixture solution was stirred at 328 K for 4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the formed precipitate was filtered and washed successively with ethanol and ethanol-hexane (1:4), respectively. The product was dried under vacuum to yield 223.3 mg white microcrystal of the title compound. Yield, 52.6%. m.p. 398–399 K. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation from a solution of ethanol/dichloromethane (2:1) of the title compound at room temperature for several weeks. Anal.

H atoms were treated as riding atoms with distances C—H = 0.97 (CH2), 0.96 (CH3), 0.93 Å (aromatic) and O—H = 0.82 Å. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(O).
Schiff base compounds are still one of the most prevalent mixed-donor ligands in coordination chemistry (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2008). In the past decades, a continuing attention has been drawn to the
derived from benzaldehyde or salicylaldehyde and their metal complexes for the investigation of single molecule based magnetism, materials science, catalysis of many reactions which could be finely tuned by different substituent groups bonded to the phenolic ring (Koizumi et al., 2005; Dong et al., 2009b; Lu et al., 2006). Here, the structural characterization of the title compound, 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'- [(butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol, is reported.The
of the title compound is built up by only the C20H24N2O6 molecules, in which all bond lengths are in normal ranges. The molecule, Fig. 1, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre (symmetry code: -x, -y, -z) and adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The of the compound is composed of one-half of the molecule. The oxime group is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 1.77 (2)°. Within the molecule, the planar units are parallel but extend in opposite directions from the methylene bridge. The two benzene rings are parallel to each other with the dihedral angle of 0.00 (0)° and the distance of 1.664 (3) Å. An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. In the each molecule links six other molecules into an infinite three-dimensional network supramolecular structure (Fig. 2 and 3), which is built from one-dimensional chains via three pairs of weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds.For applications of Schiff base compounds, see: Dong & Ding (2008); Dong et al. (2007, 2009b); Koizumi et al. (2005); Lu et al. (2006). For the synthesis, see: Dong et al. (2009a).

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 still one of the most prevalent mixed-donor ligands in coordination chemistry (Dong et al., 2007; Dong et al., 2008). In the past decades, a continuing attention has been drawn to the Schiff bases derived from benzaldehyde or salicylaldehyde and their metal complexes for the investigation of single molecule based magnetism, materials science, catalysis of many reactions which could be finely tuned by different substituent groups bonded to the phenolic ring (Koizumi et al., 2005; Dong et al., 2009b; Lu et al., 2006). Here, the structural characterization of the title compound, 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'- [(butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol, is reported.
The crystal structure of the title compound is built up by only the C20H24N2O6 molecules, in which all bond lengths are in normal ranges. The molecule, Fig. 1, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre (symmetry code: -x, -y, -z) and adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The asymmetric unit of the compound is composed of one-half of the molecule. The oxime group is nearly coplanar with the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 1.77 (2)°. Within the molecule, the planar units are parallel but extend in opposite directions from the methylene bridge. The two benzene rings are parallel to each other with the dihedral angle of 0.00 (0)° and the distance of 1.664 (3) Å. An intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal structure, each molecule links six other molecules into an infinite three-dimensional network supramolecular structure (Fig. 2 and 3), which is built from one-dimensional chains via three pairs of weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds.
