The title compound, C17H20N2O3, is a Schiff base, which is found as a zwitterion in the solid state. The geometry around the iminium N atom indicates sp2-hybridization. The zwitterion shows a strong intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interaction between the iminium N atom and the phenolate O atom.

1-Adamantylamine (0.4556 g, 3.012 mmol) and 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde (0.5040 g, 3.016 mmol) in acetone (20 ml) were stirred for 3 h at room temparature. After addition of pentane (50 ml) to the reaction mixture, the formed precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with pentane, and dried at 50 °C, to give a yellow powder (0.8312 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH3CN solution at room temparature.
Carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms: C—H = 0.95 — 1.00 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Nitrogen-H atom was located from the difference Fourier map and allowed to refine with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(N).
The title compound, C17H20N2O3, is a Schiff base, which can act as a monobasic bidentate ligand, that is, the N,O donor atoms can coordinate to a metal ion. In the

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, C17H20N2O3, is a Schiff base, which can act as a monobasic bidentate ligand, that is, the N,O donor atoms can coordinate to a metal ion. In the crystal structure, the Schiff base is found as a zwitterion (Fig. 1), whereas the closely related compound IDOHIS 2-[(tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decan-1-ylimino)methyl]phenol with similar molecular geometry is in the phenol-imine form (Fernández-G et al., 2001).
