(1E,2E)-1,2-Bis[1-(2-methoxy-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]hydrazine.

ABSTRACT: There are two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(20)N(2)O(2). The two mol-ecules exist in an E,E configuration with respect to the two C=N double bonds. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings in each mol-ecule are 16.89?(6) and 18.84?(6)°. In each mol-ecule, the two meth-oxy groups are coplanar with their attached benzene rings, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0078 and 0.0336?Å in one mol-ecule, and 0.0163 and 0.0207?Å in the other. An intra-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bond is present in one mol-ecule. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are arranged into ribbons along the c axis. These ribbons are further stacked along the a axis. The mol-ecules are consolidated by C?N [3.306?(2)-3.427?(2)?Å] and C?O [3.3284?(16)-3.3863?(15)?Å] short contacts. C-H?? inter-actions are also observed.
