Abstract
The structure of the new tetranucleating ligand 2,3,-dihydroxy benzenemethanimine α-(2-hydroxymethyl)phenyl has been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. C14H13NO3 is monoclinic, space groupP21/a, with cell dimensionsa=10.382(2),b=19.147(1),c=12.799(1) Å,β=113.08(1)°,V=2340.6(3) Å3,Z=8,M=243.04,Do=1.36,Dx=1.38 mg/m3,F(000)=1024,T=293 K,R=0.041 for 2640 observed reflections. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit and both have a similar geometry. The molecules are parallel to each other, the distance between them being 3.7 Å and the dihedral angle between mean planes 7.8°. There is a pseudocenter between molecule A and (1−x, 1−y, 1−z) of molecule B. The structure is stabilized by intramolecular O-H⋯N and intermolecular O-H⋯O as well as by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
