In the title compound, C15H2F10O, the two perfluorinated arene rings are tilted at an angle of 66.08 (5)° with respect to each other. The olefinic double bond adopts an E configuration and the single bond between the olefinic and carbonyl double bonds has an s-trans conformation. The carbonyl group is not in a coplanar alignment with respect to the neighbouring arene ring (0.963 Å from aryl plane) while being coplanar with regard to the olefinic double bond (0.0805 Å from olefinic bond). The crystal packing does not feature significant hydrogen-bond-type or stacking interactions.

The title compound was obtained from a solution of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroacetophenone and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzaldehyde in sulfuric acid. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded 56% single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography.
The title compound (Fig. 1) exhibits a non-planar structure, that can be described by dihedral and torsional angles realting the arene rings and the carbonyl group to each other. The two perfluorinated arene rings are tilted at an angle of 66.08 (5)° with respect to each other. The carbonyl group is tilted with reference to the adjacent perfluoro arene unit showing a torsional angle O1—C9—C10—C15 of 60.3 (2)°. According to Cesarin-Sobrinho et al. (2001) this can be expressed as the s-trans conformation. The olefinic double bond is fixed in the (E)-configuration.
Remarkably, in the π contacts and stacking interactions between the perfluorinated arene units occur in the crystal packing. Only closer distances between fluorine atoms and the centre of adjacent perfluorinated aryl rings in the range of 3.0–3.2 Å (150–168°) as well as F···F contacts with distances smaller than the sum of the van-der-Waals-radii can be detected. Nevertheless, there is no indication regarding the angles of the F···F contacts pointing to a head-on or side-on mode of interaction typical for halogen-halogen contacts (Awwadi et al., 2006).
the oxygen atom of the polar carbonyl group does not show an intermolecular interaction such as a C—H···O contact (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). Moreover, neither C—H···F– nor C—H···Drawing a comparison with the parent non-fluorinated compound (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one, which exists in at least four different crystalline polymorphs (Weygand, 1929), a main difference between the decafluorinated chalcone and the nonfluorinated π type contacts.
is the location of the olefinic double bond with reference to the carbonyl double bond. While in the present title compound these bonds are s-trans, in the structures of the unfluorinated they are s-cis. The molecular geometries also differ concerning planarity. That is to say, the perfluoro arene units, one with another, show a torsional angle of 66.08 (5)° but for the unfluorinated the angles are around 12°. Also the torsions involving the adjacent arene and carbonyl groups (2.5, 15.0 and 17.6°) are significantly smaller compared with the fluorinated title compound (60.3 (2)°). Moreover, regarding the packing arrangement, the parent show a number of intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···For a detailed discussion of fluorinated

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. |

The title compound (Fig. 1) exhibits a non-planar structure, that can be described by dihedral and torsional angles realting the arene rings and the carbonyl group to each other. The two perfluorinated arene rings are tilted at an angle of 66.08 (5)° with respect to each other. The carbonyl group is tilted with reference to the adjacent perfluoro arene unit showing a torsional angle O1—C9—C10—C15 of 60.3 (2)°. According to Cesarin-Sobrinho et al. (2001) this can be expressed as the s-trans conformation. The olefinic double bond is fixed in the (E)-configuration.
Remarkably, in the crystal structure, the oxygen atom of the polar carbonyl group does not show an intermolecular interaction such as a C—H···O contact (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). Moreover, neither C—H···F– nor C—H···π contacts and stacking interactions between the perfluorinated arene units occur in the crystal packing. Only closer distances between fluorine atoms and the centre of adjacent perfluorinated aryl rings in the range of 3.0–3.2 Å (150–168°) as well as F···F contacts with distances smaller than the sum of the van-der-Waals-radii can be detected. Nevertheless, there is no indication regarding the angles of the F···F contacts pointing to a head-on or side-on mode of interaction typical for halogen-halogen contacts (Awwadi et al., 2006).
Drawing a comparison with the parent non-fluorinated compound (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one, which exists in at least four different crystalline polymorphs (Weygand, 1929), a main difference between the decafluorinated chalcone and the nonfluorinated chalcones is the location of the olefinic double bond with reference to the carbonyl double bond. While in the present title compound these bonds are s-trans, in the structures of the unfluorinated chalcones they are s-cis. The molecular geometries also differ concerning planarity. That is to say, the perfluoro arene units, one with another, show a torsional angle of 66.08 (5)° but for the unfluorinated chalcones the angles are around 12°. Also the torsions involving the adjacent arene and carbonyl groups (2.5, 15.0 and 17.6°) are significantly smaller compared with the fluorinated title compound (60.3 (2)°). Moreover, regarding the packing arrangement, the parent chalcones show a number of intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···π type contacts.
