In the 15H9FO3, inversely oriented molecules form inversion dimers through pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The benzene ring is twisted at an angle of 12.0 (1)° relative to the 4H-chromene skeleton of the molecule. Adjacent 4H-chromene units are parallel in a given column or oriented at an angle of 50.0 (1)° in neighboring, inversely oriented, columns, forming a herringbone pattern.

The title compound was synthesized following the procedure described by Smith et al., 1968. Briefly, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one was synthesized first by the condensation of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde in methanol/50% aqueous NaOH (1/1 v/v), precipitated by neutralizing the reaction mixture with aqueous HCl and separated by filtration. The product thus obtained was subjected to oxidative
in alkaline methanol/H2O2 to yield 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one. The filtered product was purified chromatographically (Silica Gel, chloroform/methanol, 20/1 v/v) and yellow crystals suitable for X-ray investigations were grown from absolute ethanol (m.p. = 442–443 K).The H atoms of the C—H bonds were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atoms involved in O—H···O hydrogen bonds were located on a difference map and refined freely with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).
3-Hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavonol) and its derivatives exhibit dual fluorescence in liquid phases originating from the
Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) phenomenon (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979). Since the fluorescence of flavonols depends strongly on the properties of the medium, the compounds can be applied as analytical probes in chemistry, biochemistry, biology and medicine (Demchenko et al., 2002). Continuing our investigations into this group of compounds (Roshal et al., 2003; Pivovarenko et al., 2005) we now present the of a flavonol derivative – 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one.In the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles characterizing the geometry of the 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavone) moiety are typical of this group of compounds (Cantrell & Stalzer, 1982; Etter et al., 1986; Waller et al., 2003). With respective average deviations from planarity of 0.0147 (2)° and 0.0020 (2)°, the 4H-chromene and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 12.0 (1)° (in the case of flavonol this angle is equal to 5.5 (1)° (Etter et al., 1986)).
In the π (Dorn et al., 2005) contacts (Table 2, Fig. 2) – are arranged in columns along the b axis which are dispersively stabilized in the The adjacent 4H-chromene moieties are parallel in a given column or oriented at an angle of 50.0 (1) in the two neighboring, inversely oriented, columns, which forms a herringbone pattern. The O11—H11···O12 intramolecular hydrogen bond (Table 1, Figs. 1 and 2) is the one involved in the ESIPT phenomenon, characteristic of flavonols (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979).
the inversely oriented molecules form dimers through a pair of intermolecular O—H···O (Aakeröy et al., 1992) bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2). Dimers oriented in parallel – linked by C—F···For general background to fluorescence in flavanol (3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) and its derivatives, see: Demchenko et al.

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. |

3-Hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavonol) and its derivatives exhibit dual fluorescence in liquid phases originating from the Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) phenomenon (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979). Since the fluorescence of flavonols depends strongly on the properties of the medium, the compounds can be applied as analytical probes in chemistry, biochemistry, biology and medicine (Demchenko et al., 2002). Continuing our investigations into this group of compounds (Roshal et al., 2003; Pivovarenko et al., 2005) we now present the crystal structure of a flavonol derivative – 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4H-chromen-4-one.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles characterizing the geometry of the 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavone) moiety are typical of this group of compounds (Cantrell & Stalzer, 1982; Etter et al., 1986; Waller et al., 2003). With respective average deviations from planarity of 0.0147 (2)° and 0.0020 (2)°, the 4H-chromene and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 12.0 (1)° (in the case of flavonol this angle is equal to 5.5 (1)° (Etter et al., 1986)).
In the crystal structure, the inversely oriented molecules form dimers through a pair of intermolecular O—H···O (Aakeröy et al., 1992) bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2). Dimers oriented in parallel – linked by C—F···π (Dorn et al., 2005) contacts (Table 2, Fig. 2) – are arranged in columns along the b axis which are dispersively stabilized in the crystal lattice. The adjacent 4H-chromene moieties are parallel in a given column or oriented at an angle of 50.0 (1) in the two neighboring, inversely oriented, columns, which forms a herringbone pattern. The O11—H11···O12 intramolecular hydrogen bond (Table 1, Figs. 1 and 2) is the one involved in the ESIPT phenomenon, characteristic of flavonols (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979).
