Abstract

The title compound, 1-(4-fluorobenzylidene)-2-(2,3-dihydro-1-isobutyl-1H-naphtho[2,1-d]imidazol-4-yl) hydrazine (C21H24FN5O) was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and finally the structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The title compound crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system, in the space group P21/n. The unit cell parameters are a=10.4209 (16) Å, b=18.179 (4) Å, c=11.945 (2) Å, β=114.674 (1)°, Z=4 and V=2056.3 (7) Å3. The structure adopts an E conformation with respect to the C=N bond. The compound exhibits intermolecular interaction of the type O-H…N with symmetry code ½+x, ½−y, −½+z, N-H…O with symmetry code −½+x, ½−y, ½+z, and C-H…O with symmetry code ½+x, ½−y, ½+z.
