Crystal structure of (E)-N′-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H10FN3O2, the molecule has an E conformation with respect to the C=N bond of the hydrazone bridge. The dihedral angle between the isonicotinoyl and fluorophenol moieties is 4.03 (4)°, and an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...N and C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the a-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of layers lying parallel to the ab plane. The crystal structure also features π–π interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.6887 (8) Å].
