2-[(E)-(1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-yl) iminomethyl] phenol methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title multi-donor Schiff base compound, C19H13N3O-CH3OH, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenanthroline and phenol rings is 59.3 (1)degrees. The Schiff base molecule is linked to the solvent molecule by an O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H...N hydrogen bonds, weak O-H center dot center dot center dot N interactions and pi-pi stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.701 (1) and 3.656 (1) angstrom].
