A new Schiff-base complex 2-{(E)-[2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray determination. The structure comprises two independent and similar molecules. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are hydrogen bonded and have different conformations. In each molecule, C 13 H 11 NO 2 , adopt an E configuration about the azomethine C-N double bond. The complex crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1. Two benzene rings and azomethine group are practically coplanar, as a result of intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxy O atom and azomethine N atom. Also hydroxy group of the molecule is the presence intermolecular O-HÁÁÁO hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy group of the other molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
