BACKGROUND Indolinone and spiro-indoline derivatives have been employed in the preparation of different important therapeutic compounds required for treatment of anticonvulsants, antibacterial, Antitubercular, and anticancer activities. Schiff bases have been found to possess various pharmacological activities such as antitubercular, plant growth inhibiting, insecticsidal, central nerve system ...

The azomethine double bond in the title Schiff base, C(20)H(19)N(3)O, has an E configuration. The 13-membered carbazolyl fused ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.023 (9) Å] is nearly coplanar with the five-membered pyrazole ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 (4) Å]; the dihedral angle between the two systems is 10.8 (2)°. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin having a 35% minor component.

The title Schiff base compound, C(19)H(16)N(2)O(3), was derived from the condensation reaction of 2-hydr-oxy-1-naphthyl-aldehyde with 4-methoxy-benzohydrazide. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the naphthyl ring system is 6.8 (2)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c axis.

The Cu(II) atom in the title complex, [CuCl(2)(C(12)H(9)IN(2))], has a square-planar coordination being N,N'-chelated by the Schiff base ligand, and by two Cl atoms. The geometry is distorted towards square pyramidal owing to a long Cu⋯Cl inter-action of 2.941 (1) Å. This results in the formation of a zigzag chain structure propagating in the c-axis direction.

In the title tetra-nuclear tin(IV) complex, [Sn(4)(CH(3))(8)(C(20)H(22)N(2)O(4))Cl(2)O(2)], there are three completely different tin-atom coordinations. One metal atom (site symmetry 2) adopts a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal SnC(2)N(2)O(3) coordination arising from the N,N',O,O'-tetra-dentate deprotonated Schiff base, two methyl groups in the axial sites and a μ(3)-O atom that also bonds to...

In the centrosymmetric title dinuclear zinc(II) compound, [Zn(2)(C(14)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(N(3))(2)], each Zn(II) ion has a slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry and is coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom from one Schiff base ligand, an O atom from the other Schiff base ligand, and another N atom from an azide ligand. The crystal structure involves inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

In the title mononuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C(13)H(15)ClNO)(2)], the Ni(II) atom is four-coordinated in a tetra-hedral geometry by the N and O atoms of the two Schiff base ligands.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(18)H(16)F(4)N(2), comprises two half crystallographically independent potentially bidentate Schiff base ligands, with an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯F and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8283 (11) Å].
