Abstract

A Schiff base compound, N'-(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)-4-methylbenzohydrazide (C15H12N2OCl2) has been synthesized by the condensation of 4-methylbenzohydrazide and 2,4-dichloro benzaldehyde in an ethanol solution. The Schiff base was characterized by 1H NMR, MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure and antibacterial activity of the compound are reported herein. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group P`1 with a = 6.9796 (4), b = 11.5134 (6), c = 12.5679 (7) Å, a = 115.274(1)°, b = 97.009 (1)°, g = 94.578 (1)°, Z = 2, V = 896.60 (9) Å, Dc = 1.375 g/cm3, Mr = 371.25, l(Moka) = 0.71073 Å, μ = 0.379 mm-1, F (000) = 388. The final R = 0.0344, wR = 0.0984 for 2955 observed reflections with I >2s (I). The two benzene rings are nearly coplanar with the dihedral angle 1.56°. Three classical intermolecular hydrogen bonds exist in the crystal. The compound molecules are connected through hydrogen bonds to generate a two-dimensional network. The results of preliminary biological activity assay showed that the title compound exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
