Crystal structure, DFT and MEP study of (E)-2-{[(3-chloro­phen­yl)imino]­meth­yl}-6-methyl­phenol

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, the mol­ecules are linked through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming chains parallel to the [010] direction. π–π inter­actions and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds are also observed. The mol­ecular geometry of the title compound in the ground state has been calculated using density functional theory at the B3LYP level with the 6–311++G(2d,2p) basis set. Additionally, frontier mol­ecular orbital and mol­ecular electrostatic potential map analyses were performed.
