The central methoxy O atom deviates from the plane of the attached benzene ring by 0.0911 (14) Å. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 47.58 (11)°. The features C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O interactions.

The title compound was prepared by the condensation reaction between of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 0.196 g) and 4-Fluoroaniline (1 mmol, 0.172 g), which were taken in equimolar ratio and dissolved in methanol (20 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for overnight. Then filtering, drying the synthesized compound dissolved in a 20 ml of methanol to purify the title material by recrystallization process at least for three times. After 4 days, colourless single crystals were obtained using methanol as solvent by keeping the solution for slow evaporation suitable for single-crystal X-ray structure analysis.
The positions of hydrogen atoms were localized from the difference electron density maps and their distances were geometrically constrained. The H atoms bound to the C atoms were treated as riding atoms, with d(C–H) = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aryl atoms. d(C–H) = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group. The rotation angles for methyl group is optimized by least squares. During the diffraction experiment, 998 Friedel pairs were merged.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 > σ(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 are among the most useful ligands in coordination chemistry as they readily form stable complexes with most transition metals (Xia et al., 2009). They are known to exibit potent anti-bacterial, anti-convulsant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities (Shah et al., 1992). In addition to that, it shows the Non-linear optical properties (Ünver et al., 2004). Therefore, successful application of Schiff bases requires a careful study of their characteristics.
The title compound, C16 H16 F N O3, exists in a trans configuration with respect to the C═N bond [1.258 (2) Å]. The N1═C8 bond length of 1.258 (2) Å is shorter than the N–C bond [1.411 (3) Å], indicating a typical imine double bond. Moreover, the C–N–C angle is 118.93 (17) °. X-ray analysis confirms the molecular structure and atom connectivity as illustrated in Fig. 1.
The dihedral angle formed between the phenyl rings (C1–C6) and (C8–C13) is 47.58 (11) °. The flurine atom F1 is deviated from the phenyl ring (C1–C6) by -0.0243 (23) Å. One of the oxygen atom attached to the phenyl ring (C8–C13) is deviated from the same plane by -0.0911 (14) Å.
The crystal packing is stabilized by C4—H4···N1i and C7—H7···O3ii inter-molecular interactions. The symmetry codes: (i). 1 - x,1/2 + y,1 - z. (ii). 1 - x,1/2 + y,2 - z.
