X-ray crystal and computational structural study of (E)-2-[(2-chloro-phenyl)-iminometh-yl]-4-methoxy-phenol.

ABSTRACT: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 12.28?(7)°. An intra-molecular O-H?N hydrogen bond results in the formation of a nearly planar six-membered ring, which is oriented with respect to the aromatic rings at dihedral angles of 0.18?(5) and 12.10?(6)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the c axis. There is a C-H?? contact between the methyl group and the chloro-phenyl ring and a ?-? contact between the two benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.866?(1)?Å].
