Abstract
The title Schiff base compound, C13H16N3O+·PF6 −, was derived from the condensation of 2-hydroxybenaldehyde with the ionic liquid 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate in an ethanol solution. The asymmetric unit comprises one cation and two PF6 − anions. The dihedral angle between the aromatic and imidazole rings is 15.2 (2)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond is found which generates an S(6) ring motif.

Comment
The use of functionalized ionic liquids continues to receive attention in chemical synthesis and engineering, including as catalysts in organic synthesis (Cai et al., 2006; Peng & Song, 2006). Schiff base compounds are one of most prevalent mixed-donor ligands in the field of coordination chemistry (Pradeep, 2005; Butcher et al., 2005). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title salt, (I).
Compound (I) is a Schiff base formed from the reaciton of 2-hydroxybenaldehyde and ionic liquid 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. The molecular structure of the cation is shown in Fig. 1. The aromatic and imidazole rings form a dihedral angle of 15.2 (2)°. In the cation, an intramolecular O1—H1···N1 hydrogen bond leads to a six-membered ring S(6) motif, Table 1.
Experimental
A mixture of the ionic liquid 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (5 mmol) and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5 mmol) in ethanol was stirred for 4 h. After the completion of the reaction, the excess ethanol was removed by distillation. The colorless solid obtained was filtered and washed with ethanol. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate solution of (I) at room temperature.
Refinement
The H atom bound to O1 was located from a difference Fourier map and refined as riding, with O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The remaining H atoms were located in a difference syntheses and refined with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 - 1.5Ueq(C)].

Special details
| 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. |
