Compound (I) was synthesized according to the procedure of Erhardt et al. (1985) and Kranz et al. (1980). Single crystals (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were grown in dichloromethane by slow evaporation at room temperature.
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.95Å (aromatic ring) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) are flavonoid and isoflavnoid precursors which are abundant in edible plants and display wide biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antileishmanial, anticancer, antiangiogenic, anti-infective and anti-inflammatory activities. Chalcone derivatives have received much attention due to their relatively simple structures, and wide variety of biological activities (Detsi et al. 2009). A series of chalcone derivatives containing imidazole ring have been synthesized and crystal structures of some of them have been reported (Lu et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2009). We report here the structure of the title compound (I).
The title compound (I), C26H16FN3O3, shows an organic-clip-shaped motif (Hou et al. 2009). The ringent dihedral angle between the anthryl unit and the fluorophenyl group is 37.80°. The imidazolyl group can be seen as the handle of organic clip, and the dihedral angles between the imidazolyl group and the anthryl unit or the fluorophenyl group are 64.40° and 74.51° respectively. In the solid state, the compound (I) is stabilized by weak intermolecule C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds generating an infinite two-dimensional network.

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. |

Chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) are flavonoid and isoflavnoid precursors which are abundant in edible plants and display wide biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antileishmanial, anticancer, antiangiogenic, anti-infective and anti-inflammatory activities. Chalcone derivatives have received much attention due to their relatively simple structures, and wide variety of biological activities (Detsi et al. 2009). A series of chalcone derivatives containing imidazole ring have been synthesized and crystal structures of some of them have been reported (Lu et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2009). We report here the structure of the title compound (I).
The title compound (I), C26H16FN3O3, shows an organic-clip-shaped motif (Hou et al. 2009). The ringent dihedral angle between the anthryl unit and the fluorophenyl group is 37.80°. The imidazolyl group can be seen as the handle of organic clip, and the dihedral angles between the imidazolyl group and the anthryl unit or the fluorophenyl group are 64.40° and 74.51° respectively. In the solid state, the compound (I) is stabilized by weak intermolecule C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds generating an infinite two-dimensional network.
