The molecule of the title chalcone, C23H15BrO, is not planar and exists in the E configuration with respect to the central C=C bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene and anthracene rings is 83.58 (6)°. The prop-2-en-1-one bridge makes dihedral angles of 63.00 (7) and 42.62 (16)° with the benzene and anthracene rings, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked into dimers by weak C—H⋯O interactions. These dimers are arranged parallel to the bc plane and are further stacked along the a axis by π–π interactions with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7561 (9) Å. The is further stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions.

The title compound was synthesized by condensation of 2-bromoacetophenone (0.39 g, 2 mmol) with anthracene-9-carboxaldehyde (0.41 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (40 ml) in the presence of 20% NaOH (aq) (5 ml). After stirring for 7 h at room temperature, the yellow solid obtained was collected by filtration, washed with distilled water and dried in air. Yellow block-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray
were recrystalized from methanol by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature after several days. Mp. 427–428 K.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.2Ueq of the
for all H atoms. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.64 Å from C6 and the deepest hole is located at 0.38 Å from Br1.Chalcones have been studied for their chemical and biological activities for a long time. They have a wide range of applications such as in non-linear optical devices (Patil & Dharmaprakash, 2008) and have various biological properties such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal (Nawakowska et al., 2008; Cheng et al., 2008) and HIV-1 protease inhibitory (Tewtrakul et al., 2003) activities. Moreover,
have also been studied for fluorescent property (Gaber et al., 2008). Our previous investigation has revealed that containing the anthracene moiety displayed fluorescent property (Joothamongkhon et al., 2010). The title compound (I) was synthesized for further investigation of its fluorescent properties. The title compound in chloroform solution exhibited fluorescence with the maximum emission at 450 nm when it was excited at 380 nm.The molecule of (I) (Fig. 1) exists in an E configuration with respect to the C8═C9 double bond [1.343 (2)°], with the torsion angle C7–C8–C9–C10 = 174.24 (16)°. The anthracene unit is essentially planar with the r.m.s. 0.0416 (2) Å. The molecule is not planar as indicated by the dihedral angle between benzene and anthracene rings of 83.58 (6)°. The mean plane through the pro-2-en-1-one bridge (C7–C9/O1) [r.m.s. 0.0283 (2) Å] makes dihedral angles of 63.00 (7) and 42.62 (16)° with the benzene and anthracene rings, respectively. The bond distances are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with those of related structures (Fun et al., 2009; Joothamongkhon et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked into dimers through the C5—H5A···O1 interactions (Fig. 2). These dimers are arranged into sheets parallel to the bc plane, and are further stacked along the a axis by π–π interaction with a Cg2···Cg3 distance of 3.7561 (9) Å (symmetry code: -1/2 + x, y, 1/2 - z). The is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1); Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the C1–C6, C10–C11/C16–C18/C23 and C11–C16 rings, respectively.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 120.0 (1) K. |
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 have been studied for their chemical and biological activities for a long time. They have a wide range of applications such as in non-linear optical devices (Patil & Dharmaprakash, 2008) and have various biological properties such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal (Nawakowska et al., 2008; Cheng et al., 2008) and HIV-1 protease inhibitory (Tewtrakul et al., 2003) activities. Moreover, chalcones have also been studied for fluorescent property (Gaber et al., 2008). Our previous investigation has revealed that chalcones containing the anthracene moiety displayed fluorescent property (Joothamongkhon et al., 2010). The title compound (I) was synthesized for further investigation of its fluorescent properties. The title compound in chloroform solution exhibited fluorescence with the maximum emission at 450 nm when it was excited at 380 nm.
The molecule of (I) (Fig. 1) exists in an E configuration with respect to the C8═C9 double bond [1.343 (2)°], with the torsion angle C7–C8–C9–C10 = 174.24 (16)°. The anthracene unit is essentially planar with the r.m.s. 0.0416 (2) Å. The molecule is not planar as indicated by the dihedral angle between benzene and anthracene rings of 83.58 (6)°. The mean plane through the pro-2-en-1-one bridge (C7–C9/O1) [r.m.s. 0.0283 (2) Å] makes dihedral angles of 63.00 (7) and 42.62 (16)° with the benzene and anthracene rings, respectively. The bond distances are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with those of related structures (Fun et al., 2009; Joothamongkhon et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked into dimers through the C5—H5A···O1 interactions (Fig. 2). These dimers are arranged into sheets parallel to the bc plane, and are further stacked along the a axis by π–π interaction with a Cg2···Cg3 distance of 3.7561 (9) Å (symmetry code: -1/2 + x, y, 1/2 - z). The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1); Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the C1–C6, C10–C11/C16–C18/C23 and C11–C16 rings, respectively.
