Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of dimethyl 3,3'-{[(1E,2E)-ethane-1,2-diyl-idene]bis(aza-nylyl-idene)}bis-(4-methyl-benzoate).

ABSTRACT: The title Schiff base compound, C₂₀H₂₀N₂O₄, synthesized by the condensation reaction of methyl 3-amino-4-methyl-benzoat and glyoxal in ethanol, crystallizes in the the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The mol-ecule is Z-shaped with the C-N-C-C torsion angle being 47.58 (18)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymetric dimers with an R ₂ ²(8) ring motif; this connectivity leads to the formation of columns running along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to explore the inter-molecular inter-actions and revealed that the most significant contributions to the crystal packin
