Abstract

In the title chalcone derivative, C15H8Cl3FO, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 43.35 (8)°. Weak C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl intra-molecular inter-actions involving the enone group generate S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into anti-parallel chains along the a axis. These chains are stacked along the b axis and short Cl⋯F contacts of 3.100 (1) Å link adjacent mol-ecules of the anti-parallel chains into dimers.
