The title compound was synthesized (Yliheikkilä et al., 2007) by refluxing 2,6-diisopropylaniline (1.6 g, 9.1 mmol) and 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde (1.3 g, 7.8 mmol) in ethanol (40 ml) for 20 min. The solvent was removed and raw product was purified by a column chromatography on basic alumina using pentane/ethyl acetate (3:1) eluent. Recrystallization from n-pentane yielded yellow crystals. The pale yellow crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from acetone.
Crystal selected for the X-ray measurement at 120 K was mounted on a goniometer head using the oil drop method (Kottke & Stalke, 1993). All H atoms were introduced in their calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 or 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.2 times the Ueq of the carrier atom and Uiso = 1.5 times the Ueq of the carrier atom for methyl H atoms) and refined with fixed geometry with respect to their carrier atoms. The methyl groups were allowed to rotate but not to tip.
The title compound was prepared as a ligand for metal complexes to be studied as catalysts for ethene polymerization. Its structure is a typical example of N-aryl Schiff base ligand as it has adopted a non-planar conformation (Fig. 1) and all the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Räisänen, Elo et al., 2007; Räisänen Leskelä, & Repo 2007). The N-aryl substituent is twisted along the C—N axis as the C10—N2—C11—C16 torsion angle is 64.9 (3)° whereas the other aromatic ring is practically in plane with the imine bond as the N2—C10—C9—C8 angle deviates from zero only by -9.2 (3)°. The molecular packing of the compound is facilitated by intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds (H···N distance of 2.61 Å) which fall in the range of weak hydrogen bonds (Alshahateet et al., 2004).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound was prepared as a ligand for metal complexes to be studied as catalysts for ethene polymerization. Its structure is a typical example of N-aryl Schiff base ligand as it has adopted a non-planar conformation (Fig. 1) and all the bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Räisänen, Elo et al., 2007; Räisänen Leskelä, & Repo 2007). The N-aryl substituent is twisted along the C—N axis as the C10—N2—C11—C16 torsion angle is 64.9 (3)° whereas the other aromatic ring is practically in plane with the imine bond as the N2—C10—C9—C8 angle deviates from zero only by -9.2 (3)°. The molecular packing of the compound is facilitated by intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds (H···N distance of 2.61 Å) which fall in the range of weak hydrogen bonds (Alshahateet et al., 2004).
