| Abstract: | A new Schiff base compound,2-bromo-4-chloro-6-[(4-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)me-thyl]phenol(C13H10BrClN2O),has been synthesized by the condensation of equimolar 3-bromo-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 4-methylpyridin-2-ylamine in a methanol solution.The compound Was characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectra,and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21 with a=6.048(3),b=14.063(7),c=7.623(4)(A),β=97.703(7)°,Z=2,V=642.5(6)(A)3,Dc=1.683 g/cm3,Mr=325.59,λ(MoKa)=0.71073(A),μ=3.395 mm-1,F(000)=324,R=0.0370 and wR=0.0662.A total of 3879 reflections were collected,of which 1970 with,I＞2σ(I)were observed.As expected.the molecule adopts a trans configuration about the C=N double bond.The benzene and pyridine rings are nearly coplanar(mean deviation from the combined plane is 0.031(3)(A)),with their dihedral angle of 3.3(3)°.The preliminary biological tests show that the compound has excellent antibacterial activities. |
