A new Schiff base 2-[(3-bromo-phenylimino)methyl]phenol, derived from condensation of salicylaldehyde with m-bromoaniline, has been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-raydiffraction. Schiff base is in the monoclinic system, space group (P21) with a = 3.928(14) angstrom, b = 10.590(4)angstrom, c = 13.212(5)angstrom, beta = 97.360(4)degrees, Mr = 276.13, V = 545.1(3)angstrom(3), D-e = 1.682 g/cm(3), Z = 2, mu = 3.745 mm-1, F-(000) = 276, R = 0.0326, wR = 0.0455. The schiff base is stabilized by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and pi center dot center dot center dot pi interaction and further linked into a 2D layer structure.
