Synthesis and X-ray crystallographic study of N-(2-((2,6- diisopropylphenylimino)methyl)phenyl)benzene-1,2-diamine

The title compound n-(2-((2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)methyl)phenyl) benzene-1,2-diamine(c 25h 29n 3,mr = 371.51) was synthesized by the metathesis reactions in high yield. the compound was studied in the solution state by 1h-nmr spectroscopy and the solid state structure was determined by x-ray structural analysis. the title complex crystallizes in the p¶ space group(triclinic) with the crystal cell parameters a = 10.763 (3) å,b = 10.784 (3) å,c = 11.433 (3) å α = 107.330 (2)°,β = 107.658 (2)°,γ = 110.335 (3)°,v = 1058.1 (4) å 3 and z = 2. x-ray analysis reveals that the atoms of c(1) to c(8),n(1) and n(2) form a planar and n2,c3,c2,c1 and n1 atoms can form a conjugated system. the structure in solution is in agreement with the solid-state structure.
