(E)-2-[3-(Trifluoro-meth-yl)Phenyl-Iminomethyl]Benzene-1,4-Diol

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>14</inf>H<inf>10</inf>F<inf>3</inf>NO <inf>2</inf>, the two benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 31.94 (14)°. An intra-molecular O- H⋯N hydrogen bond helps to stabilize the mol-ecular structure. In the crystal, inter-molecular O- H⋯O hydrogen bonding links the mol-ecules, forming chains running along the crystallographic a axis. The F atoms of the trifluoro-methyl group are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.488 (5) and 0.512 (5).
