The mol­ecule of the title compound, C28H22N4O9, exhibits crystallographically imposed twofold rotational symmetry, with a dihedral angle of 66.0 (2)° between the planes of the two central benzene rings bounded to the central oxygen atom. The dihedral angle between the planes of the central benzene ring and the terminal phenol ring is 4.9 (2)°. Each half of the mol­ecule exhibits an imine E configuration. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond is present. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component pseudomerohedral twin.

1. Chemical context

Bisthio­semicarbazones are formed by connecting separated thio­semicarbazone moieties through a pair of oxybisphenyl rings. These tetra­dentate ligands trap metals inside to form square-planar complexes (Alsop et al., 2005[Alsop, L., Cowley, A. R., Dilworth, J. R., Donnelly, P. S., Peach, J. M. & Rider, J. T. (2005). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 358, 2770-2780.]; Blower et al., 2003[Blower, P. J., Castle, T. C., Cowley, A. R., Dilworth, J. R., Donnelly, P. S., Labisbal, E., Sowrey, F. E., Teat, S. J. & Went, M. J. (2003). Dalton Trans. pp. 4416-4425.]; Jasinski et al., 2003[Jasinski, J. P., Bianchani, J. R., Cueva, J., El-Saied, F. A., El-Asmy, A. A. & West, D. X. (2003). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 629, 202-206.]). The length of the C—C bond in the backbone affects the stability of the complexes. A higher number of C—C bonds obtained via alkyl­ation or aryl­ation allows metal ions to better fit inside the ligand cavity (Blower et al., 2003[Blower, P. J., Castle, T. C., Cowley, A. R., Dilworth, J. R., Donnelly, P. S., Labisbal, E., Sowrey, F. E., Teat, S. J. & Went, M. J. (2003). Dalton Trans. pp. 4416-4425.]). These tetra­dentate ligands and transition-metal complexes exhibit promising anti­cancer and anti­bacterial activities (Lobana et al., 2009[Lobana, T. S., Sharma, R., Bawa, G. & Khanna, S. (2009). Coord. Chem. Rev. 253, 977-1055.]). In view of this and our research inter­est in the synthesis of oxybis Schiff base compounds, we herein report the crystal structure, supra­molecular features and conformational comparison of the title compound.

2. Structural commentary

In the title compound (Fig. 1[link]), the asymmetric unit comprises one half of the oxybisbenzenyl mol­ecule where the oxygen atom (O1) lies on a twofold rotation axis. The complete mol­ecule is generated through the symmetry operationx, y, [{1\over 2}] − z. The planes of the benzene rings bonded to the central oxygen atom form a dihedral angle of 66.0 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene and 4-meth­oxy-2-nitro­phenol rings in the same half of the mol­ecules is 4.9 (2)°, indicating an almost coplanar arrangement of the benzene and phenol rings. The sp2-hybridized character of atoms N1 and C7 is confirmed by the N1—C7 [1.287 (6) Å] bond length and C7—N1—C8 [121.9 (4)°] and N1—C7—C6 [121.7 (4)°] bond angles (Arafath et al., 2018[Arafath, M. A., Kwong, H. C., Adam, F. & Razali, M. R. (2018). Acta Cryst. E74, 687-690.]). Each half of the mol­ecule exhibits an imine E configuration with a C6—C7—N1—C8 torsion angle of 177.7 (4)°. In the mol­ecule, atom N1 of the imine moiety acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the adjacent phenol group, forming an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond with an S(6) ring motif (Fig. 1[link], Table 1[link]).

3. Supra­molecular features

In the crystal, atom O5 acts as a bifurcated-hydrogen-bond acceptor, linking mol­ecules into layers parallel to the ab plane (Fig. 2[link]) through C7—H7A⋯O5 and C13—H13A⋯O5 hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]). No C—H⋯π or ππ inter­actions are observed.

4. Database survey

In a search of the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, version 5.40, last update August 2019; Groom et al., 2016[Groom, C. R., Bruno, I. J., Lightfoot, M. P. & Ward, S. C. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171-179.]), twelve structures containing the (1E,1′E)-N,N′-[oxybis(4,1-phenyl­ene)]bis­(1-phenyl­methanimine) moiety with different substituents were found. The reference moiety is illustrated in Fig. 3[link]. Details regarding different substituents (R1) together with the dihedral and torsion angles for oxybisbenzenyl moiety in these structures are tabulated in Table 2[link]. In analogy with the title mol­ecule, the planes of the central benzene ring bonded to the central oxygen atom are always V-shaped with dihedral angle 1 in the range of 54.6–84.8°. The dihedral angle between the planes of central and terminal benzene rings exists in two conformations, viz. non-coplanar [dihedral 2 = 18.0–73.5°] and nearly coplanar [dihedral 2 = 4.8–9.9°]. In all of these structures, the imine C=N double bond adopts an E configuration with torsion angles corresponding to C6—C7—N1—C8 in the range 172.9–180.0°.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

To a sample of 2-hy­droxy-5-meth­oxy-3-nitro­benzaldehyde (0.98 g, 5.00 mmol) dissolved in 25.0 mL of methanol, 0.20 mL of glacial acetic acid were added, and the mixture was refluxed for 30 min. A solution of 4,4′-oxydianiline (0.50 g, 2.50 mmol) in 20.0 mL of methanol was added dropwise under stirring to the aldehyde solution. The resulting deep-red solution was refluxed for 4 h with stirring. The reaction scheme is shown in Fig. 4[link]. The deep-red precipitate that formed was filtered off and washed with 5.0 mL of methanol and 5.0 mL of n-hexane. The recovered product was dissolved in chloro­form for recrystallization. Purple single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent, m.p. 547–548 K, yield 96%. Analysis calculated for C28H22N4O9 (f.w. 558.50 g mol−1) C, 60.16; H, 3.93; N, 10; found: C, 59.04; H, 3.85; N, 9.90%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6, Me4Si ppm): δ 10.23 (s, OH), δ 9.12 (s, HC=N), δ 7.69–7.21 (multiplet, aromatic), δ 3.83 (s, Ph—OCH3). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, Me4Si ppm): δ 161.69 (C=N), δ 156.21–114.96 (C-aromatic), δ 56.25 (OCH3).

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. The phenolic hydrogen atom was located in a difference-Fourier map and refined freely. All other H atoms attached to C were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H= 0.95–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. A rotating model was used for the methyl group. The crystal investigated was refined as a two-component pseudomerohedral twin resulting from a 180° rotation about the [001] reciprocal lattice direction, with a twin ratio of 0.977 (3):0.023 (3).

Experimental. The following wavelength and cell were deduced by SADABS from the direction cosines etc. They are given here for emergency use only: CELL 0.71095 5.463 8.443 28.418 92.106 89.981 108.897

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. Refined as a 2-component twin.
