In the title compound, C16H16N4O3·CH3OH, the aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 0.4 (2)°. The nitro group is twisted from the attached benzene ring by 7.5 (2)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link alternating hydrazone and methanol molecules into chains in [100]. The crystal packing exhibits π–π interactions between aromatic rings from neighbouring chains [centroid–centroid distances = 3.734 (3) and 3.903 (3) Å].

4-Nitrobenzaldehyde (0.1 mmol, 15.1 mg) and 4-dimethylaminobenzhydrazide (0.1 mmol, 17.9 mg) were stirred in 20 ml methanol at room temperature for 30 min. A large number of small and yellow single crystals were formed by slow evaporation of the methanolic solution containing the compound in air.
The amide H2 atom was located in a difference map and was refined isotropically, with restraint N—H = 0.90 (1) Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93-0.96 Å , O—H = 0.82 Å. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl and hydroxyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.Hydrazones derived from the condensation reactions of
with carbonyl-containing compounds have been found to possess many biological activities, such as antibacterial, anticonvulsant, anti-inflamatory, and antitubercular (Zhang et al., 2012; Cacic et al., 2006; Rauf et al., 2008; Bedia et al., 2006). Recently, a number of have been prepared and structurally characterized (Horkaew et al., 2012; Kargar et al., 2012; Hu & Liu, 2012). As an extension of work on the structural characterization of the title compound is reported here.The π–π interactions between the aromatic ring from the neighbouring chains [centroid-centroid distances 3.734 (3), 3.903 (3) Å].
of the title compound contains a hydrazone molecule and a methanol molecule of crystallization linked by O—H···O hydrogen bond (Fig. 1). The hydrazone molecule displays a conformation with respect to the C=N bond. Two aromatic rings in the hydrazone molecules form a dihedral angle of 0.4 (2)°. The nitro group is twisted from the attached benzene ring at 7.5 (2)°. Intermolecular N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link alternating hydrazone and methanol molecules into chains in [100] (Fig. 2).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Hydrazones derived from the condensation reactions of hydrazines with carbonyl-containing compounds have been found to possess many biological activities, such as antibacterial, anticonvulsant, anti-inflamatory, and antitubercular (Zhang et al., 2012; Cacic et al., 2006; Rauf et al., 2008; Bedia et al., 2006). Recently, a number of hydrazones have been prepared and structurally characterized (Horkaew et al., 2012; Kargar et al., 2012; Hu & Liu, 2012). As an extension of work on the structural characterization of hydrazones, the title compound is reported here.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains a hydrazone molecule and a methanol molecule of crystallization linked by O—H···O hydrogen bond (Fig. 1). The hydrazone molecule displays a trans conformation with respect to the C=N bond. Two aromatic rings in the hydrazone molecules form a dihedral angle of 0.4 (2)°. The nitro group is twisted from the attached benzene ring at 7.5 (2)°. Intermolecular N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link alternating hydrazone and methanol molecules into chains in [100] (Fig. 2). The crystal packing exhibits π–π interactions between the aromatic ring from the neighbouring chains [centroid-centroid distances 3.734 (3), 3.903 (3) Å].
