Molecules of the title compounds, C15H14N2O4S.H2O and C15H13BrN2O4S.H2O, adopt an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. In both molecules, the two benzene rings and the azomethine group are practically coplanar, as a result of intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxy O atom and azomethine N atom. The angular disposition of the bonds about the S atom deviates significantly from that of a regular tetrahedron. In the crystal structures, both compounds form two-dimensional layers parallel to the (100) plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
