Crystal Structure?4-(2,4-Dihydroxybenzylideneamino)-5-methyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one

Abstract  

The title compound (I), 4-(2,4-dihydroxybenzlideneamino)-5-methyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 10.1447(7) ?, b = 7.0972(3) ?, c = 14.6726(10) ?, β = 98107(5)°, V = 1045.85(11) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.487 g/cm³, F ₀₀ = 488, R = 0.039 and wR = 0.1025, S = 1.003, T = 293 (2) K. The title molecule is planar: the angle between the triazole ring and benzene ring is 179.1(1)°. The crystal structure contains two intramolecular (O–H···N and C–H···O) and three intermolecular interaction (O–H···N, N–H···O, and C–H···O). In addition, there is also π–π interactions.
