Crystal engineering via C-HF and C-H interactions in two substituted indoles

A. R. Choudhury, K. Nagarajan and T. N. Guru Row

Abstract: The crystal structures of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole, C₂₀H₁₈FN, and 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole, C₂₂H₂₂FN, have been determined in order to study the role of `organic fluorine' in crystal engineering. These molecules pack in the crystal structure via different types of molecular motifs utilizing weak C-HF and C-H [bold pi] interactions.

Formula: C₂₀H₁₈FN and C₂₂H₂₂FN
