It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2_1/c with a = 9.6309(14), b = 15.230(2), c = 17.197(3) ?, β = 105.222(2)°, V = 2433.9(6) ?~3, Z = 4, F(000) = 1008, D_c = 1.311 Mg/m~3, M_r = 480.57, μ = 0.166 mm~(-1), the final R = 0.0509 and wR = 0.1481 for 6643 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). The crystal structure of compound 1 is stabilized by C–H···O, N–H···N, N–H···O, O–H···N and C–H···N hydrogen bonds. The spectroscopic studies of the title compound toward various metal ions were also investigated in 25%(V/V) ethanol aqueous solution, and the result showed that it can selectively recognize Cu~(2+) with fluorescence quenching.
