The synthesized compound, red isomer, was characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, Elemental analyses, Mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Refluxing in MeOH solution led to thermo-isomerism offering a white isomer product that was characterized by X-ray crystallography. The red isomer crystallizes in the orthorhombic system having space group Pbcn, with a = 12.7612(4), b = 11.5197(3), c = 20.1586(7) Å, V = 2963.42(16) Å 3, Z = 8 while the white isomer crystallizes in the triclinic system having space group P −1, with a = 7.8007(4), 8.5966(7), 12.224 (1) Å, α= 71.133(7), β= 81.281(5), γ= 74.895(5) ∘, V = 746.86(9) Å 3, Z = 2. Molecules of both compounds are twisted at N2–N3 bond with the C7-N2-N3-C9 torsion angle of 155.23(12) and −113.36(18) ∘, respectively. The crystal structures of both compounds are stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H …N contacts and intermolecular C—H …O hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, π– π stacking interactions are observed between the same aromatic rings of molecules UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s12039-015-0992-x ER -
