Abstract

2-((E)-((2-(((E)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)amino)benzyl)imino)methyl)-6-methylphenol, C23H22N2O2, was synthesized by the reaction between 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde, and 2-(aminomethyl)aniline in aqueous ethanol. X-ray diffraction analysis technique was used to reveal the structure. The crystal structure is monoclinic, space group P21/c with parameters a = 4.6035(11) Å, b = 18.895(3) Å, c = 21.748(6) Å, β = 100.23(4)°, V = 1794(16) Å3, Z = 4. It was determined by the Hirshfeld surface study that intermolecular hydrogen bonds stabilized the complex structure. Structure verified by Fourier transform infrared spectra technique.
