Abstract top

The title compound, C16H13FO, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C bond of the propenone unit. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.0 (5)°. Intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds generate an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, molecules are packed into columns along the c axis and the structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C-H...[pi] interactions involving both aromatic rings.

Comment top

Significant studies on applications of chalcones in nonlinear optics have motivated us to further to identify materials, especially chalcone derivatives, with appropriate absorption in the UV region along with a transmission window in the NIR range contributing to multi-photon absorption (Agrinskaya et al., 1999; Gu et al., 2008; Patil et al., 2007a-c). Here we report the crystal structure of the title chalcone derivative, (I), Fig. 1.

In (I), the molecule exhibits an E configuration with respect to the C8═C9 double bond with the C7–C8–C9–C10 torsion angle 174.6 (2)°. The bond lengths and angles in (I) are comparable to those observed in related structures (Patil et al., 2007a-c). The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.0 (2)°.

Intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds generate an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure molecules are packed into columns along the c axis and the structure is stabilised by weak intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C—H···π interactions involving both aromatic rings, Table 1.

Experimental top

The compound (I) was synthesized by the condensation of p-tolualdehyde (0.01 mol) with 4-fluoroacetophenone (0.01 mol) in methanol (60 ml) in the presence of a catalytic amount of sodium hydroxide solution (5 ml, 30%). After stirring (4 h), the contents of the flask were poured into ice-cold water (500 ml) and left to stand for 5 h. The resulting crude solid was filtered and dried. The precipitated compound was recrystallized from acetone.

Refinement top

All the H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93Å for aromatic and 0.96Å for CH3. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the carrier atom for the methyl H atoms and 1.2Uequ for the remaining hydrogen atoms.

Experimental. The data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
