Abstract

The title compound, C15H12BrNO5S, is a chalcone derivative with potential nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. The molecule is essentially planar and does not show any unusual geometric parameters. The molecular structure and the crystal packing are characterized by C-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O contacts. © 2006 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
