6,6′-Dimethoxy-2,2′-[(E,E′)-(2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenol chloroform monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H26N2O4·CHCl3, the aromatic rings of the iminomethyl-6-methoxyphenol fragments make dihedral angles of 58.33 (6) and 87.74 (6)° with the central benzene ring. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, an intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond involving the chloroform solvent molecule is observed. The crystal packing is further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.739 (3)–3.776 (3) Å] between the benzene rings of centrosymmetrically related molecules.
