Crystal structures of (E)-N'-(2-hy-droxy-5-methyl-benzyl-idene)isonicotinohydrazide and (E)-N'-(5-fluoro-2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)isonicotinohydrazide.

ABSTRACT: Two derivatives of the well-known iron chelator, (E)-N'-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)isonicotinohydrazide (SIH), substituted in the 5-position of the 2-hy-droxy-benzene ring by a methyl and a fluorine group viz. (E)-N'-(2-hy-droxy-5-methyl-benzyl-idene)isonicotinohydrazide, C14H13N3O2, (I), and (E)-N'-(5-fluoro-2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)isonicotinohydrazide, C13H10FN3O2, (II), have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, (1)H NMR and mass spectrometry. The mol-ecules of both compounds deviate slightly from planarity [r.m.s. deviations are 0.145 and 0.110 Å for (I) and (II), respectively] and adopt an E conformation with respect to the double bond of the hydrazone bridge. In each mol-ecule, there is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the isonicotinoyl ring and the cresol ring in (I) or the fluoro-phenol ring in (II) are 10.49 (6) and 9.43 (6)°, respectively. In the crystals of both compounds, zigzag chains are formed via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, in the [10-1] direction for (I) and [010] for (II). In (I), the chains are linked by weak C-H⋯π and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.6783 (8) Å; inter-planar angle = 10.94 (5)°], leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture. In (II), adjacent chains are connected through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form sheets parallel to (100), which enclose R 4 (4)(30) ring motifs. The sheets are linked by weak C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7147 (8) Å; inter-planar angle = 10.94 (5)°] inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
