A monoclinic modification of 2-[(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)iminomethyl]phenol

Abstract

In the title Schiff base, C14H10N2OS, the azomethine double bond is in an E configuration; the benzothiazolyl ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) is coplanar with the phenyl-ene ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å), the two rings being slightly bent at 2.6 (1)°. The hydroxy H atom forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to the imino group. The bond dimensions of the monoclinic modification are similar to those of the ortho-rhom-bic modification [Liu et al. (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o738].
