The title compound, C16H16N2O4, was obtained from the reaction of hydrazine hydrate and o-vanilin in absolute ethanol. The molecule is almost planar (except for the methyl H atoms), with a mean deviation from the plane of 0.0259 Å. The molecular structure also exhibits an approximate non-crystallographic twofold axis. Intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate molecular zigzag sheets. The sheets stack through C—H⋯π interactions, leading to a three-dimensional-network.

The title compound was obtained from the reaction of hydrazine hydrate and o-vanilin in absolute ethanol. Hydrazine hydrate (500 mg, 10 mmol) was added to a solution of o-vanilin (3.04 g, 20 mmol) in absolute ethanol (200 ml) and heated to reflux for 2 h. The resulting solution was allowed to evaporate at rt to give a yellow crystal, which was collected by filtration and dried under vacumn;; yield 89.3%. The single-crystal of the title compound suitble for X-ray diffraction was obtained by recrystalization from absolute ethanol.
H atoms bonded to O atoms were refined isotropically without restraints, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O). Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C).
The title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), with various chelating atoms, could coordinate with many transition metals (Davidson et al., 2006) and lanthanides (Lin and Zeng, 2006; Lin et al. , 2009) to form functional complexes. The molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic π hydrogen bonds. Molecules are linked by the C—H···O hydrogen bonds, generating molecular zigzag sheets, as shown in Fig. 2. The C—H···π hydrogen bonds and stacking interaction of these sheets leads to a three-dimensional-network. (Fig. 3).
P21/c and appears to be almost completely planar (except for the methyl hydrogen atoms) with a mean deviation from the plane ooff 0.0259 Å. The molecule also exhibits a non-crystallographic 2-fold axis. There are intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds and C—H···For the properties and applications of the title compound or similar structural compounds and their metal complexes, see: Lin et al.

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 title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), with various chelating atoms, could coordinate with many transition metals (Davidson et al., 2006) and lanthanides (Lin and Zeng, 2006; Lin et al. , 2009) to form functional complexes. The molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c and appears to be almost completely planar (except for the methyl hydrogen atoms) with a mean deviation from the plane ooff 0.0259 Å. The molecule also exhibits a non-crystallographic 2-fold axis. There are intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds, intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds and C—H···π hydrogen bonds. Molecules are linked by the C—H···O hydrogen bonds, generating molecular zigzag sheets, as shown in Fig. 2. The C—H···π hydrogen bonds and stacking interaction of these sheets leads to a three-dimensional-network. (Fig. 3).
