The title compound, 2-(salicylideneamino)phenol, C13H11NO2, a potentia
l tridentate ligand, has two crystallographically independent molecule
s in the asymmetric unit, one of which is disordered. Intramolecular h
ydrogen bonds occur between the pairs of atoms O(16) and N(8) [2.625 (
7) Angstrom], and O(1) and O(16) [3.571 (7) Angstrom], the H atoms ess
entially being bonded to the O atoms.
