5-Chloro-N-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl­phenyl)­salicyl­ald­imine

The title compound, N-(5-chloro-2-oxido­benzyl­idene)-2-hydroxy-5-methyl­anilinium, C₁₄H₁₂ClNO₂, is a tridentate Schiff base with almost planar molecules. Each mol­ecule contains a strong intramolecular N—H⃛O hydrogen bond [2.576 (2) Å]. There is also an intermolecular O—H⃛O hydrogen bond [2.695 (2) Å] linking neighbouring mol­ecules into infinite chains along the [101] direction.
