In the title compound, C15H11F3N2O4, the N=C bond of the central imine group adopts anEconformation. The dihedral angle between two benzene rings is 6.2 (2)°. There is an intramolecular bifurcated O—H...(N,O) hydrogen bond withS(6) andS(9) ring motifs. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a helical chain along the 31screw axis parallel toc. The –CF3group shows rotational disorder over two sites, with occupancies of 0.39 (2) and 0.61 (2).

We give a new interpretation of Resonance Assisted Hydrogen Bonds (RAHBs) in which RAHB formation leads to an overall electron localization excluding covalency as the main source of stabilization. The most relevant contributions to the RAHB energetics are electrostatics, polarization and charge transfer.

The interactions of nucleic acid bases with non-coordinated and coordinated water molecules were studied by analyzing data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and by quantum chemical calculations. The analysis of the data in the crystal structures from the PDB indicates that hydrogen bonds involving oxygen or nitrogen atoms of nucleic acid bases and water molecules are shorter when water is bonded to a metal ion. These results are in agreement with the quantum chemical calculations on geometries and interaction energies of hydrogen bonds; the calculations on model systems show that hydrogen bonds of nucleic acid bases with water bonded to a metal ion are stronger than hydrogen bonds with non-coordinated water. These calculated values are similar to the strength of hydrogen bonds between nucleic acid bases. The results presented in this paper may be relevant to understand the role of water molecules and metal ions in the process of replication and stabilization of nucleic acids and also to understand the possible toxicity of metal ion interactions with nucleic acids.
