(E)-3-Bromo-N'-(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)benzohydrazide.

Area of Science:

• Organic Chemistry
• Crystallography
• Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

• Synthesis of novel organic compounds is crucial for materials science and drug discovery.
• Understanding molecular interactions in the solid state informs material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

• To synthesize and characterize a new dibrominated organic compound.
• To investigate the crystal structure and intermolecular interactions of the synthesized compound.

Main Methods:

• Chemical synthesis involving 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde and 3-bromo-benzohydrazide in methanol.
• Single-crystal X-ray diffraction to determine the dihedral angle and hydrogen bonding.

Main Results:

• Successful synthesis of the target compound C(14)H(10)Br(2)N(2)O(2).
• The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings was determined to be 10.5(4)°.
• Intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed chains along the c axis; an intramolecular O-H⋯N interaction was also observed.

Conclusions:

• The synthesized compound exhibits specific structural features due to hydrogen bonding.
• The crystal packing is influenced by both intra- and intermolecular interactions.
• This study contributes to the understanding of structure-property relationships in organic crystals.
