6,6′-Dimeth-oxy-2,2′-[(E,E′)-(2,4,6-trimethyl-1, 3-phenyl-ene)bis-(nitrilo-methanylyl-idene)]diphenol chloro-form monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H26N2O 4·CHCl3, the aromatic rings of the imino-methyl-6-meth-oxy-phenol fragments make dihedral angles of 58.33 (6) and 87.74 (6)° with the central benzene ring. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, an inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule is observed. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.739 (3)-3.776 (3) Å] between the benzene rings of centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules.
