Abstract

A new potentially bidentate Schiff base ligand was synthesized from condensation reaction between ethylenediamine and 4-iodobenzaldehyde. The crystal structure of the compound was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and it was shown that the compound was crystallized in monoclinic system with space group P21/n. In the crstal structure, the Schiff base molecule was located on special position with center of inversion in the middle of the C-C bond of the diamine segment. The intermolecular interaction energies of the interacting units were calculated by the theoretical calculations in the crystal structure. The theoretical calculations for interaction energies of the formed dimers from crystal structure were calculated by Gaussian program.
