Abstract:
The title compound, C21H17N3O5·C3H7NO, exists in an E conformation with respect to the azomethine double bond of the hydrazide mol-ecule. This mol-ecule contains an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, while an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the hydrazide to the formamide mol-ecule of solvation. Nonclassical C-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds build up a supra-molecular architecture, together with two C-H⋯π inter-actions and a weak π-π inter-action, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.650 (13) Å.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
