The title compound, C20H16F4N2S2, is a flexible bisthiophene-type Schiff base ligand with a perfluorinated backbone. The terminal thiophene rings are almost normal to one another with a dihedral angle of 83.8 (2)°, and they are tilted to the central tetrafluorinated benzene ring with dihedral angles of 61.2 (2) and 77.7 (1)°. In the crystal, there are π–π interactions involving the benzene ring and the thiophene ring of a symmetry-related molecule with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.699 (3) Å.

The title compound was synthesized and purified according to the method described in Zhang et al. (2011), through a condensation of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-1,4-benzenedimethanamine with 5-methylthiophene-2-carboxaldehyde (yied 86%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 2.42 (s, 6H, CH3), 2.76 (s, 4H, CH2), 6.73 (s, 2H, CH), 7.15 (s, 2H, CH), 7.90 (s, 2H, CH). HRMS: [M—H]- calculated: 424.48, measured: 424.13. Colourless needle-like single crystals (m.p. 475.3-475.9 K) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by dissolving the compound (20 mg) in dichloromethane (6 ml), which was then slowly evaporated at room temperature over a period of about one week.
Crystal data, data collection and structure
details are summarized in Table 1. All H atoms bound to C atoms were assigned to calculated positions, with C—H = 0.97 (methylene), 0.96 (methyl), and 0.93 Å (aromatic), and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq (carrier C) for the methyl groups and Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq (carrier C) for other H atoms.In the past decade, thiophene based bidentate Schiff base ligands have been utilized intensively to assemble various coordination compounds with intriguing structural features and potential applications (Hee & Soon, 2007; Fang et al., 2001). As part of our ongoing studies of the fluorine-substituted effect on the crystal structures of coordination polymers (Chen et al., 2012), herein, we wish to report the
of the title compound.A perspective view of the compound, including the atomic numbering scheme, is shown in Fig. 1. X-ray diffraction study demonstrates that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic π–π interactions where π systems are separated by 3.699 (3) Å
P21 with the molecule placed in general position. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. The terminal thiophene rings are almost perpendicular to each other, with a dihedral angle of 83.8 (2)°, and they are inclined to the tetrafluorinated benzene ring with dihedral angles of 61.2 (2) and 77.7 (1)°, respectively.
