(E)-1-(Anthracen-9-yl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one: Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H14ClFO, the enone moiety adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene and anthracene ring is 63.42(8)° and an intramolecular C - H⋯F hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are arranged into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of C - H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also features C - H⋯π and π-π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to confirm the existence of intermolecular interactions.
