(2Z)-2-Anilino-2-[oxido(phenyl)iminio]-N-(2-pyridyl)acetamide methanol 0.425-solvate
Abstract
The title compound, C19H16N4O2·0.425CH4O, crystallizes with two formula units per asymmetric unit. Researching its crystal structure constitutes part of a study of the nature of interactions between the N+—O− group and the vicinal NH group. The nitrone group and methanol solvent molecules are linked via four N—H...O and one O—H...O hydrogen bonds, with donor–acceptor distances of 2.603 (3)–2.730 (3) and 2.770 (3) Å, respectively. The crystal structure also involves two intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds.
