Synthesis, crystal structure, DFT studies, and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N,N'-bis(3-quinolyl-methylene)diphenylethanedione dihydrazone

Abstract

The synthesis, characterization, and theoretical studies of a novel hydrazine, N,N’-bis-(3-quinolylmethylene)diphenylethanedione dihydrazone (1) has been reported. The molecular structure has been characterized by room-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction which reveals that two quinoline moieties are disposed nearly perpendicularly around the central C-C bond giving a ‘L’ shape of the molecule. This particular geometry gives rise to the hydrogen-bonded supramolecular rectangle of two self-complementary…
