The title compound, C14H9Cl3N2O, adopts an E configuration about the methyl­idene unit and the two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 6.6 (2)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming C(4) chains propagating in [001]. C—H⋯O inter­actions reinforce the chains.

Comment top

Significant attention has been attracted on the hydrazones for their biological properties, coordinative capability, and applications in analytical chemistry (El-Asmy et al., 2010; El-Sherif, 2009; Singh et al., 2009; El-Tabl et al., 2007). Recently, a number of hydrazones have been prepared and investigated for their structures (Qiao et al., 2010; Hussain et al., 2010; Han & Zhao, 2010; Ahmad et al., 2010). As a continuation of hydrazones, the author reports herein the title new compound.

The molecule of the title compound, Fig. 1, adopts an E configuration about the methylidene unit. The two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 6.6 (2)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), to form chains at the c-axis direction (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

3-Chlorobenzohydrazide (1 mmol, 0.170 g) was dissolved in methanol (50 ml), then 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 0.174 g) was added into the solution. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 1 h and cooled to room temperature. Colourless needle-shaped crystals were formed by slow evaporation of the solvent for a week.

Refinement top

The amino H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically, with the N—H distance restrained to 0.90 (1) Å. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
