Article: Recent findings from Jilin University highlight research in crystallography.

According to a study from Changchun, People's Republic of China, "The title compound, C16H16N2O5 center dot CH3OH, was obtained from a condensation reaction of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dihydroxybenzohydrazide. The non-H atoms of the Schiff base molecule are approximately coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.043 angstrom) and the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 1.6 (1)degrees."

"The molecule adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. An intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond is observed," wrote Q.L. Zhang and colleagues, Jilin University.

The researchers concluded: "The Schiff base and ...
