The title chiral photochromic Schiff base compound, C(21)H(19)N(3)O, was synthesized from (R)-1-phenyl-ethyl-amine and the salicylaldehyde of an azobenzene derivative. The mol-ecule corresponds to the phenol-imine tautomer, the C=N and N-C bond distances being 1.279 (3) and 1.477 (3) Å, respectively. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. The diazenyl group adopts a trans form with an N=N distance of 1.243 (3) Å. ...[more]
