3,3′-Dibromo-4,4′-[(1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diyldiimino]dipent-3-en-2-one

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H24Br2N2O2, contains two independent molecules, each which has two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds linking the amine N atoms to the enolic O atoms of the same acacH-imine unit. In the crystal, the molecules are lined up by intermolecular weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming two vertical each other two-dimensional chains along the a axis and b axis of the unit cell, respectively.
