In the title compound, C26H16FN3O3, the dihedral angle between the anthryl and fluorophenyl groups is 37.8 (1)°. With respect to the imidazolyl group, the twist angles between the imidazolyl group and the anthryl unit and between the imidazoly group and the fluorophenyl group are 64.4 (1) and 74.5 (1)°, respectively.
