Novel amide-type ligand bearing bis-pyridine cores: Synthesis, spectral characterizations and X-ray structure analyses

•Novel amide-type ligand bearing bis-pyridine cores have been conveniently prepared.•The ligand has been fully characterized by typical spectroscopic techniques mainly including IR, 1H NMR and ESI-MS.•The structure of the ligand was investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction method.

The novel salicylamide-type ligand containing bis-pyridine moieties, i.e. 2-((6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methoxy)-N-(2-((6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methylthio)phenyl)benzamide, which has been successfully synthesized and characterized by typical spectroscopic techniques mainly including IR, 1H NMR and ESI-MS. The structure of target compound was further determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method and which crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/c.
