“…This compound possesses interesting features like antimicrobial activity, special electrochemical and thermal properties, anionic sensitivity, photochromism and thermochromism, and non-linear optical properties [2][3][4][5]. In continuation of our studies on Schiff base compounds [1][2][3][4], we report the synthesis, characterization and crystal structures of 2,6-dichlorobenzylidene-2,4-dichloroaniline (1) and 2,4-dichlorobenzylidene-2,4-dichloroaniline (2) (see Fig. 1), as well as DFT calculations with B3LYP hybrid functional employing the 6-31G and STO-3G basis sets for all the calculations.…”
