Abstract
The title compound, 1,3-bis(5-nitrosalicylideneamino)-2-propanol, was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 90 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 18.388(5)Å, b = 10.355(3)Å, c = 19.159(5)Å, β = 113.596(6)°, V = 3343.1(15)Å3, Dx = 1.543 g/cm3, and Z = 8. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0909 and 0.1730, respectively, for all 3867 independent reflections. The molecule is folded at the central carbon atom with a dihedral angle between the two approximate planes of 11.21°.
