The title salt, C20H26N3O2+·Cl, lies across a twofold crystallographic axis with the central N atom of the cation and the chloride anion sitting on this axis, Z′ = 0.5. There is an intra­molecular hydrogen bond between the hy­droxy H atom and the imino N atom. The chloride anion and the cation are connected into chains along the a axis by an N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the chains are linked via C—H⋯Cl interactions forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (101).

Comment top

Tetradentate Schiff bases are flexible ligands and difficult to crystallize and most of the crystal structures published for these ligands are complexes with transition metals or anthanides/actinides.

As far as we can determine there are no published structures for this type of ligand and published data for these types of ligand with antimicrobial or of interst because of their optical properies have been were has been obtained from solid state techniques like NMR or elemental analysis Taha et al. (2011a); Taha et al. (2011b). We crystallized (I) as salt. (Fig. 1). The molecule sits across a two-fold crystallographic axis with the ammonium nitrogen atom, N1, and the Cl anion sitting on the two-fold axis.

The bond lengths of N1—C1 and N2—C3 are 1.501 (4) and 1.456 (4) respectively indicate that these are single bonds and the bond length of N2—C4 (1.273 (4) Å) shows that this is a double bond exhibits a double bond. The distances are in agreement with other salicylic and dipropylamino ligands and complexes found in literature (Ramazani et al. (2006), Cheng et al. (2009), Pavel et al. (2007) & Chen et al. (2011)).

There is an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic oxygen, O1 and N2, Table 1, Fig1 The N1—HH1A···Cl1 hydrogen bond connects the chloride ion to two adjacent ligands to form chains which run parallel to the a axis, Table 1 and Fig. 1. In addition there is a short contact between C1 and Cl1, Table 1. There are no C–H···π interactions nor is there any π-π stacking.

Experimental top

Facile condensation of 3,3 –Diaminodipropylamine and salicylaldehyde 1:2 molar ratio afforded a neutral condensate as following:

3,3 –Diaminodipropylamine (30 ml, 0.208 mol) was added dropwise to a solution of salicylaldehyde (50.7 g, 0.416 mol) in absolute ethanol (250 ml); the solution became instantly yellow. The mixture was heated for 1 h at 50°C. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure afforded the desired compound in 95% yield as yellow oil. The obtained Schiff base was then mixed with cyanuric acid in ethanol with few drops of 1M HCl added. The mixture then stir heated (40°C) for 24 then filtered. After few days crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were formed.

Refinement top

H atoms were treated as riding atoms with C—H(aromatic), 0.93Å and C—H(CH2), 0.97Å, with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). The hydrogens attached N1 and O1 were located on a difference map and refined as riding atoms with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(N1) and Uiso = 1.5Ueq(O1). The positions of these latter atoms was confirmed on a final difference map. The position of the Cl anion was chosen so that it formed a hydrogen bonded asymmetric unit.

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.
