Abstract
2-{(Z)-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol Schiff base (C14H13NO),were synthesized and the structure was elucidated in the bases of 1HNMR and X-ray. The X-ray establish the conformation of the molecule, which indicate the compound is crystalline in the monoclinic P 21/c with a = 19.3092(19) Å, b = 4.7611(4) Å, c = 12.2222(11) Å a = 90°, b = 102.087(10)°, g = 90°and Z = 4. Two benzene rings and azomethine group are practically coplanar, as a result of intramolecular hydrogen bond involving the O atom of hydroxyl group and N atom of azomethine group.
