(E)-4-Bromo-N′-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylmethylene)benzohydrazide

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and frontier molecular orbital analysis of (E)-4-bromo-N′-(2,3-dichlorobenzylidene)benzohydrazide

The title Schiff base compound, has an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond, and the benzene rings are inclined to each other by 15.7 (2)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001] which enclose (6) loops.

The title Schiff base compound, C₁₄H₉BrCl₂N₂O, displays a trans or E configuration with respect to the C=N bond, with a dihedral angle 15.7 (2)° formed between the benzene rings. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001] which enclose R¹₂(6) loops. The inter­molecular inter­actions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The DFT-B3LYP/6–311 G++(d,p) method was used to determine the HOMO–LUMO energy levels.
