The title compound, C20H20Br2N2O2, a tetradentate Schiff base, is the enantiomerically pure R,R-diastereomer of four possible The molecular structure reveals two strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy O atom and the imino N atom, which each generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, molecules are stacked in columns along the a axis; when viewed down the b axis, successive columns are stacked in the opposite direction. The structure reported herein is the monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported orthorhombic form [Yi & Hu (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o2643], in which the complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis.

1,2-Diaminocyclohexane (0.8007 g, 7.012 mmol) and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (2.8204 g, 14.031 mmol) in EtOH (20 ml) were stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After addition of pentane (30 ml) to the reaction mixture, the formed precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with ether, and dried at 323 K, to give a yellow powder (1.7660 g). Yellow blocks were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH3CN solution at room temperature. The previous polymorph (Yi & Hu, 2009) was crystallised from methanol.
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). The hydroxy H atoms were located from the difference Fourier map then allowed to ride on their parent atoms in the final cycles of
with O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The highest peak (0.88 e Å-3) and the deepest hole (-0.47 e Å-3) in the difference Fourier map are located 1.34 Å and 0.86 Å, respectively, from the atoms Br1 and Br2. The was established by effects via diffraction measurements on the crystal. The is -0.010 (16) in the final cycles of refinement.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2000); cell

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 crystal structure of the title compound, C20H20Br2N2O2, was previously reported in the orthorhombic space group P21212 (Yi & Hu, 2009). The structure presented herein is essentially the same as the published structure and represents a monoclinic polymorph.
The title compound is a tetradentate Schiff base (Fig. 1), which can act as a dibasic ligand, i.e. the N and O donor atoms can coordinate one metal ion. The compound has two chiral C centres and is one of four possible stereoisomers. Crystallographically, the absolute configuration has been established by anomalous dispersion effects, and the R configuration of the asymmetric C atoms (C1 and C6) could be assigned. The Schiff base reveals strong intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy O atom and the imino N atom, with O···N distances of 2.581 (7) and 2.626 (7) Å, forming nearly planar six-membered rings (Fig. 2, Table 1). In the crystal structure, the benzene rings are not parallel: the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.20 (15)°. The N—C bond lengths and the C—N—C bond angles indicate that the imino N atoms are sp2-hybridized [N1═C7 = 1.274 (8) Å, N1—C1 = 1.461 (8) Å, <C7—N1—C1 = 118.7 (6)°; N2═C14 = 1.280 (8) Å, N2—C6 = 1.474 (8) Å, <C14—N2—C6 = 118.3 (6)°]. The molecules are stacked in columns along the a axis. When viewed down the b axis, the successive compounds are stacked in the opposite direction. In the columns, the shortest centroid-centroid distance between aromatic rings is 4.709 (3) Å.
