A new polymorph ofN-(2-{N′-[(1E)-2-hydroxybenzylidene]hydrazinecarbonyl}phenyl)benzamide
The title compound, C21H17N3O3, is a new polymorph of an already published structure [Shashidharet al.(2006).Acta Cryst.E62, o4473–o4475]. The previously reported structure crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/c, whereas the structure reported here is in the tetragonal space groupI41/a. The bond lengths and angles are similar in both structures. The molecule adopts an extended conformationviaintramolecular N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds; the terminal phenyl ring and the hydroxylphenyl ring are twisted with respect to the central benzene ring by 44.43 (7) and 21.99 (8)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H...π interactions into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
