An ethanol solution of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aminobenzene (2,29 g/20 ml e thanol) was added dropwise, at room temperature, to a solution of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde (o-vanillin) (1.52 g, 0.01 mol) in ethanol (20 ml), yielding large amounts of a pale yellow precipitate. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at this temperature and filtered under vacuum. Crystallization from toluene gave a spectroscopically pure product as a pale yellow plate-like crystalline compound (yield: 91%, m.p.: 394–396 K); elemental analysis calculated for C16H11F6N: C 52.89, H 3.03, N 3.85%; found: C 52.82, H 2.89, N 3.83%; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ = 3.8 (s, 3H, O—CH3), 6.6–7.4 (m, 6H, Ar—H), 8.4 (s, 1H, H—C═N), 12.4 (s, 1H, OH). IR (KBr): 3600–3300 (br, Ph—OH), 2950 (H—CN), 1650 (C═N), 1600 (Ar—CH). UV-vis (CHCl3): λ = 245 (ε: 2125), 305 (max., ε: 3163), 368 nm (ε: 1088).
The H atoms were refined with independent isotropic displacement parameters. One of the CF3 groups showed rotational disorder. The disordered F atoms were refined anisotropically, using distance and angle restraints. For atoms F4A, F5A and F6A the site-occupancy factor is 0.62 (1) and for atoms F4B, F5B and F6B the site-occupancy factor is 0.38 (1).

Special details top
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. |

Solvent extraction is now widely accepted as a process for the recovery of metal ions from aqueous solution in hydrometallurgical and environmental applications (El Aamrani et al., 1999), with new interest in the processing of heavy metals by chelation in combination with supercritical fluid (SCF) extraction processing. Carbon dioxide is commonly employed in SCF processing because it is readly available, inexpensive, non-toxic and non-flammable (Yazdı et al., 1996; Cross et al., 1996). Solubilities of known ligands in sc CO2 are generally low compared to solubilities in organic solvents. Data indicate that fluorination of chelating agents results in dramatic enhancement of solubility. In this work, we have designed a novel Schiff base type chelating agent, by attaching a CO2-philic fluoroalkyl group; this has been synthesized, and characterized for sc CO2 extraction of heavy metals.
Most aromatic compounds which contain a trifluoromethyl group are known to have higher melting points, in some cases significantly higher, than the corresponding methyl-substituted compounds. The latter, however, despite their lower molecular weight, generally have higher boiling points. Apparently, forces exist in the crystalline state between molecules containing a CF3 group which are stronger than in the corresponding methyl-substituted compounds, but which are absent in the liquid state (Boitsov et al., 2002).
The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The C9—N1 and C7—C6 bond lengths are 1.412 (4) and 1.442 (4) Å; these are in agreement with the corresponding distances in trans-4-[(4-dimethylaminophenyl)iminomethyl]-N-methylpyridinium p-toluenesulfonate [1.413 (3) and 1.461 (3) Å; Coe et al., 2001] and N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]salicylaldimine [1.417 (4) and 1.439 (4) Å; Karadayı et al., 2003]. The O1—C5, O2—C4 and O2—C8 bond lengths are 1.352 (3), 1.361 (4) and 1.430 (4) Å, respectively, and agree with the corresponding distances in (E)-2-hydroxy-3,3',4'-trimethoxystilbene [1.369 (2), 1.371 (2) and 1.427 (3) Å; Stomberg et al., 1998]. The N1═C7 bond length is 1.287 (5) Å, approximately equal to previously reported C═N double-bond lengths (Elerman & Elmalı, 1998; Karadayı et al., 2003; Kazak et al., 2000).
One intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond and one intermolecular C—H···F hydrogen bond are present in the crystal structure (Table 2).
