The crystal data for p-nitrobenzylidene-p-dimethylaminoaniline (I) are: monoclinic, space group P21/c; a= 11.065 (2), b=7.759 (2), c= 16.488 (2)/~,, fl= 106"53 (3) °, Z=4. The crystal data for p-dimethylaminobenzylidene-p-nitroaniline (II) are: triclinic, space group P]'; a=9.509 (1), b= 16.200 (1), c= 9-505 (1) ~, e=91.69 (1), fl= 107.52 (1), 9,= 101"04 (1) °, Z=4 (two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit). The intensity data were collected on a four-circle diffractometer using Zr-filtered Mo Ke radiation. The structures were refined by a block-diagonal least-squares method to R indices of 0.081 for (I) and 0.070 for (II). The molecule (I), as a whole, is in a nearly planar conformation, and (II) in a non-planar one. The twist angles of the aniline ring out of the C-N=C-C plane are 9.2 ° for (I), and 41.5 and 49.0 ° for (II). The twist angles of the benzylidene ring range from 4.1 to 11"4 °.
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.
