Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,3'-Bis(5-(N-(4-hydroxylphenyl)imidomethyl)- pyrrol-2-yl)pentane·2CH_3OH

3,3'-Bis(5-(N-(4-hydroxylphenyl)imidomethyl)pyrrol-2-yl)pentane 1 has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal of its methanol complex, 1·(CH3OH)2, belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pccn with a = 18.094(2), b = 11.6890(16), c = 13.3629(19) , V = 2826.3(7) 3, Z = 8, C14.5H18N2O2, Mr = 252.31, Dc = 1.186 g/cm3, F(000) = 1080 and μ(MoKα) = 0.080 mm-1. The final R = 0.0662 and wR = 0.1801 for 1908 observed reflections with I 2σ(I), and R = 0.0800 and wR = 0.1948 for all reflections. In the solid state, bridged by included methanol molecules, the molecules of compound 1 form interpenetrated grid structure through N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds.
