Abstract
Two isostructural Schiff base compounds, N' -[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy)benzylidene]-3-hydroxybenzohydrazide monohydrate (1) and N'-[(2-hydroxy-3-ethoxy)benzylidene]-3-hydroxybenzohydrazide monohydrate (2), have been synthesized by the condensation of 3-hydroxybenzohydrazide with 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde, respectively. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Each compound consists of a Schiff base molecule and a water of crystallization. In the crystal, molecules are linked through intermolecular 0-H···O and N-H···O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds has been tested.
