6,6′-Dimeth­oxy-2,2′-[p-phenyl­ene­bis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenol chloro­form disolvate

The title compound, C(22)H(20)N(2)O(4)·2CHCl(3), a new Schiff base compound, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Inter­molecular bifurcated C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the two O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and the H atom of the chloro­form solvent of crystallization, generate an R (2) (1)(5) ring motif. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions [centroid to centroid distance = 3.6158 (10) Å]. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are stacked down the c axis.
