The title compound, C15H12N2O, was synthesized by condensation reaction of 2-hy-droxy-5-methyl-benzaldehyde and 2-amino-benzo-nitrile, and crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pbca. The phenol ring is inclined to the benzo-nitrile ring by 25.65â
(3)°. The configuration about the C=N bond is E, stabilized by a strong intra-molecular O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bond that forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, C-Hâ¯O and C-Hâ¯N inter-actions lead to the formation of sheets perpendicular to the a axis. C-Hâ¯π inter-actions, forming polymeric chains along the a-axis direction, connect these sheets into a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the packing arrangement are from Hâ¯H and Câ¯H/Hâ¯C inter-actions. The density functional theory (DFT) optimized structure at the B3LYP/6-311â
G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined mol-ecular structure and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is given.
