(E,E)-N1,N4-Bis(2,6-difluorobenzylidene)butane-1,4-diamine

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H16F4N2, comprises two half crystallographically independent potentially bidentate Schiff base ligands, with an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...F and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8283 (11) Å].
