Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, Supramolecular and Computational Investigation of the (E)-4 Phenyl)imino) Methyl)phenol Compound

Abstract

Crystallographic features of the synthesized compound (E)-4-methoxy-2-(((2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)imino)methyl)phenol are investigated with the Hirshfeld surface analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The stability of the crystal packing primarily stems from N-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O bonding interactions, further fortified by offset pi center dot center dot center dot pi stacking interactions. To delve into the supramolecular arrangement, the Hirshfeld surface analysis is conducted, shedding light on the intricacies of the crystal packing. The structure of the synthesized compound is determined through the single crystal XRD analysis, revealing its crystallization within the triclinic crystal system, space group P (1) over bar. The supramolecular assembly is explored by the Hirshfeld surface analysis, and the supramolecular geometric features of the title compound involve the compact arrangement of title molecules with each other. The dispersion energy properties are examined through studies on the interaction energy and energy frameworks.
