The title compound, C14H9ClF3NO2, crystallizes in a phenol–imine tautomeric form, with a strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.62 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along the c axis by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and weak C—H⋯π interactions involving both benzene rings are also observed.

2-[(4-Chlorophenyl)iminomethyl]-4-trifluoromethoxyphenol was prepared by refluxing a mixture of a solution containing 2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde (10 mg, 4.85× 10-2 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) and a solution containing 4-chloroaniline (10 mg, 4.85× 10-2 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour under reflux. Single crystals of the title compound for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution (yield 44 %; m.p. 376-377 K).
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with O-H = 0.82 Å, C-H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Schiff bases have been extensively used as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry (Calligaris et al., 1972). Schiff base compounds can be classified by their photochromic and thermochromic characteristics (Cohen et al., 1964). These properties result from a proton transfer from the hydroxyl O atom to the imine N atom (Hadjoudis et al., 1987).
display two possible tautomeric forms, namely the phenol-imine (Dey et al., 2001; Karadayı et al., 2003) and keto-amine (Hökelek et al., 2000) forms. Our X-ray analysis shows that the title compound, (I), exists in the phenol-imine form (Fig. 1).The C8═N1 [1.282 (4) Å] and C6—O1 [1.343 (4) Å] bond lenghts confirm the phenol-imine form of (I), and these distances are similar to those reported in the literature [1.280 (2) Å and 1.350 (3) Å; Gül et al., 2007]. The molecule is not planar and the dihedral angle between the C1-C6 and C9-C14 rings is 47.62 (9)°. A strong intramolecular O1—H1···N1 hydrogen bond which forms an S(6) graph set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) is observed.
The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). In addition, C2—H2···Cg1i, C5—H5···Cg1ii, C10—H10···Cg2iii and C13—H13···Cg2iv (Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the C1-C6 and C9-C14 rings, respectively) interactions (Fig.2 and Table 1) are observed.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Schiff bases have been extensively used as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry (Calligaris et al., 1972). Schiff base compounds can be classified by their photochromic and thermochromic characteristics (Cohen et al., 1964). These properties result from a proton transfer from the hydroxyl O atom to the imine N atom (Hadjoudis et al., 1987). Schiff bases display two possible tautomeric forms, namely the phenol-imine (Dey et al., 2001; Karadayı et al., 2003) and keto-amine (Hökelek et al., 2000) forms. Our X-ray analysis shows that the title compound, (I), exists in the phenol-imine form (Fig. 1).
The C8═N1 [1.282 (4) Å] and C6—O1 [1.343 (4) Å] bond lenghts confirm the phenol-imine form of (I), and these distances are similar to those reported in the literature [1.280 (2) Å and 1.350 (3) Å; Gül et al., 2007]. The molecule is not planar and the dihedral angle between the C1-C6 and C9-C14 rings is 47.62 (9)°. A strong intramolecular O1—H1···N1 hydrogen bond which forms an S(6) graph set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995) is observed.
The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). In addition, C2—H2···Cg1i, C5—H5···Cg1ii, C10—H10···Cg2iii and C13—H13···Cg2iv (Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the C1-C6 and C9-C14 rings, respectively) interactions (Fig.2 and Table 1) are observed.
