Self-assembly of novel supramolecular networks formed by 1-[(1-propyl)iminomethyl]-2,4-dihydroxybenzene †

Abstract

The condensation of propylamine and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in absolute ethanol leads to the formation of a unique supramolecular structure, whose crystal structure is reported here. The material displays an unusual synergistic combination of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
