Compound I contains in its molecule pyridyl, monoxime and hydrazone functions. A non-merohedral twin
crystal of the compound with two reciprocal lattices differently oriented and giving rise to double
diffraction spot sets with the 0.5:0.5 ratio of the twin components was studied. The hydrazone and oxime
units are approximately planar. The dihedral angles between this plane and the planes of the pyridine and
phenyl rings are 30.79(19)q and 18.43(13)q, respectively. Both the oxime and hydrazone units in I have an
E configuration. The molecules of I are linked via C–H}O and O–H}N hydrogen bonds forming a 3D
framework. The compound was also characterized by IR, 1H NMR and elemental analyses.
Keywords: pyridine, oxime, hydrazone, twin crystal, isomerism.
INTRODUCTION
Oximes and hydrazones are interesting objects because of their wide application in medicine, industry and analytical
chemistry. These compounds are used as analytical reagents for the detection and determination of some metal ions [1, 2].
Hydrazones have been utilized for the determination of carbonyl compounds [2, 3]. Hydrazones and hydrazone oximes
exhibit biological activity. Hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized in order to investigate the relationship between
structure and biological activity [4-6]. In this study, we present the crystal structure of the title compound, I, which is a
product of the condensation reaction of isonicotinyl hydrazine and isonitrosoacetophenone.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Spectroscopic characterization of 1. The structure of I was verified by means of IR (KBr), 1H NMR (DMSO), UV-
VIS spectral data and elemental analyses. In the IR spectrum of compound I characteristic bands are observed at 1690 cm–1,
1607 cm–1, 1536 cm–1, 1509 cm–1 assigned to the Q(C=O), Q(C=N) hydrazone, Q(C=N)oxime and Q(N–H) vibrations,
respectively. A strong band at 1007 cm–1 in the spectrum of I is mainly attributed to Q(N–O) vibration. The medium intensity
band at 1040 cm–1 is ascribed to Q(N–N) vibration. In addition, the band 3136 cm–1 is asigned to overlapping oxime NOH and
NH groups. In the 1H NMR spectra of I the resonance of the NH protons appears as a singlet at 12.68 ppm. The characteristic
oxime OH proton is observed at 13.16 ppm. The doublet around 8.82 ppm is assigned to the two protons of pyridine ring
