Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4-Salicylimine-3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole

1 INTRODUCTION 1, 2, 4-Triazole and its derivatives have gained great attention as ligands to transition metals by the fact that they unite the coordination geometry of both pyrazoles and imidazoles, and in addition exhibit a strong and typical property of acting as bridging ligands between two metal centers. In this bridging capacity, the 1, 2, 4-triazole ligands show a great coordination diversity, especially when the triazole nucleus are substituted with additional donor groups1]. In…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4-Salicylimine-3, 5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1, 2, 4-triazole

The title compound, 4-salicylimine-3, 5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1, 2, 4-triazole, was obtained by the condensation reaction of 4-amino-3, 5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1, 2, 4-triazole with salicylaldehyde in methanol. The crystal structure (C21H16N4O3, Mr = 372.38) belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 10.507(2), b = 16.878(3), c = 11.199(2) ? = 110.86(3), V = 1855.9(6) ?, Z = 4, Dc = 1.333 g/cm3, F(000) = 776, (MoK? = 0.092 mm-1, R = 0.0552 and wR = 0.1095 for 1920 reflections ( I > 2.0(I) ). The analytical results of crystal structure show that there are two different non-covalent interactions in the compound. One is hydrogen bond, and the other p-p stacking interaction. These two types of non-covalent interactions play an important role in the packing of crystal.
