(E)-N,N-Diethyl-4-{[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino]methyl}aniline: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and energy framework

Abstract

In the title benzylideneaniline Schiff base, C18H22N2O, the aromatic rings are inclined to each other by 46.01 (6)°, while the Car—N= C—Car torsion angle is 176.9 (1)°. In the crystal, the only identifiable directional interaction is a weak C—H...π hydrogen bond, which generates inversion dimers that stack along the a-axis direction.
