In the title compound, C14H8F5NO, the dihedral angle between the planes of the pentafluorophenyl and phenyl rings is 18.34 (5)°. An intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond between the amide groups connects these molecules to form an infinite chain through the crystal structure. One weak intermolecular C-H...O contact and one [pi]-[pi] interaction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.772 (3) Å] are also involved in crystal structure stabilization between the phenyl rings.
