Conclusion
The title compound is a Schiff base that exists in the cis-quinoid form and is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
Supporting Evidence
- The compound adopts a nearly planar structure with a small dihedral angle between benzene rings.
- The F atoms of the CF3 group are disordered over two sets of sites.
- The crystal structure is stabilized by both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Takeaway
The researchers looked at a special chemical compound and found that it has a specific shape and is held together by tiny forces called hydrogen bonds.
Methodology
The compound was prepared by mixing two solutions in ethanol and analyzing the resulting crystals using X-ray diffraction.
