A mixture of 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (1.0 g, 5.0 mmol), indan-1, 3-dione (0.73 g, 5.0 mmol) and a few drops of pyridine in ethanol (15 ml) was heated for 3 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The solid that separated from the cooled mixture was collected and recrystallized from a methanol-chloroform mixture to give the yellow prisms of (I).
Yellow: 85%, m.p. 469–470 K.
IR (KBr) νmax cm-1: 3035 (Ar—H), 2859 (C—H), 1663 (C═O), 1578 (C═C).
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl and x = 1.2 for aryl H-atoms.
Formation of the donor acceptor chromophores by the nucleophilic addition of an active hydrogen compound to a carbonyl group followed by a dehydration reaction is known as knoevenagel condensation (Asiri & Khan, 2009). Donor acceptor chromophores are applicable in the field of materials science such as third order non-linear optical (NLO) (Asiri et al. 2006), photonic materials and devices, optical limiting (Kulhanek et al. 2011), electrochemical sensing (Koyuncu et al. 2010) and langmuir film (Wang et al. 2011). Due to wide application of donor acceptor chromophores, we are reporting here the synthesiz and crystal structure of the title compound (I), (Fig. 1).
The crystal structures of (II) i.e., 2-(4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-6a-azaphenylen-2-ylmethylene)indan-1,3-dione (Belyakov et al., 2008) and (III) i.e., 4-((E)((3,5-dimethyl- 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl -1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one have been published which contain the moities present in (I).
In (I), the group A (C1—C9/O1/O2) of indan-1, 3-dione, the heterocyclic five membered ring B (C11/C12/C14/N1/N2) and the benzene ring C (C16—C21) of the aldehyde moiety are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0345, 0.0099 and 0.0035 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B, A/C and B/C is 39.77 (4), 21.92 (7) and 47.06 (6)°, respectively. The title compound consists of dimers due to intermolecular H-bonds of C—H···O type, where O-atom is of carbonyl and H-atom is of benzene ring. This H-bondings form a R22(22) (Fig. 2) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There exists π–π interactions between the centroids of the rings of indan-1, 3-dione moieties at the separation of 3.8325 (12)–3.8600 (12) A°.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

Formation of the donor acceptor chromophores by the nucleophilic addition of an active hydrogen compound to a carbonyl group followed by a dehydration reaction is known as knoevenagel condensation (Asiri & Khan, 2009). Donor acceptor chromophores are applicable in the field of materials science such as third order non-linear optical (NLO) (Asiri et al. 2006), photonic materials and devices, optical limiting (Kulhanek et al. 2011), electrochemical sensing (Koyuncu et al. 2010) and langmuir film (Wang et al. 2011). Due to wide application of donor acceptor chromophores, we are reporting here the synthesiz and crystal structure of the title compound (I), (Fig. 1).
The crystal structures of (II) i.e., 2-(4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-6a-azaphenylen-2-ylmethylene)indan-1,3-dione (Belyakov et al., 2008) and (III) i.e., 4-((E)((3,5-dimethyl- 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)amino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl -1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one have been published which contain the moities present in (I).
In (I), the group A (C1—C9/O1/O2) of indan-1, 3-dione, the heterocyclic five membered ring B (C11/C12/C14/N1/N2) and the benzene ring C (C16—C21) of the aldehyde moiety are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0345, 0.0099 and 0.0035 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B, A/C and B/C is 39.77 (4), 21.92 (7) and 47.06 (6)°, respectively. The title compound consists of dimers due to intermolecular H-bonds of C—H···O type, where O-atom is of carbonyl and H-atom is of benzene ring. This H-bondings form a R22(22) (Fig. 2) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There exists π–π interactions between the centroids of the rings of indan-1, 3-dione moieties at the separation of 3.8325 (12)–3.8600 (12) A°.
