X-ray crystal and computational structural study of (E)-2-[(2-chloro­phenyl)­iminometh­yl]-4-methoxy­phenol

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 12.28 (7)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond results in the formation of a nearly planar six-membered ring, which is oriented with respect to the aromatic rings at dihedral angles of 0.18 (5) and 12.10 (6)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the c axis. There is a C—H⋯π contact between the methyl group and the chloro­phenyl ring and a π–π contact between the two benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.866 (1) Å].
