In the title molecule, C17H11F3O, the indan ring system and the trifluoromethyl-substituted benzene ring are approximately individually planar and form a dihedral angle of 1.81 (5)° with each other. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of weak bifurcated (C—H)2⋯O hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric dimers, generating R21(6) and R22(10) ring motifs. These dimers are connected by further weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains along the b axis. Weak C—H⋯π interactions are also present.

A mixture of 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1-one (0.001 mol) and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (0.001 mol) were dissolved in ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution (15 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 5 h. After completion of the reaction as evident from TLC, the mixture was poured into crushed ice then neutralized with concentrated HCl. The precipitated solid was filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to reveal the title compound as yellow crystals.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.95 and 0.99 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). Two outliers were omitted for the final
3 4 4 and 3 4 3.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (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 are an important group of natural products and many of these compounds possess various biological activities including antibacterial (Gurubasavaraja Swamy & Agasimundin, 2008), antitumor (Shibata, 1994), antimalarial (Charris et al., 2007) and antitubercular (Sharma et al., 2009). Indanones have been studied extensively as they are very useful intermediates for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. As part of our ongoing search to discover novel indanone related compounds (Ali et al., 2011a,b) our group has synthesized the title compound as described below.
In the molecular structure (Fig 1), the 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene ring system (C1–C9) and the benzene ring (C11–C16) are approximately planar with a dihedral angle of 1.81 (5)° between them. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges and comparable to the related structure (Ali et al., 2011c).
The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2. The molecules are linked by intermolecular C1—H1B···O1i, C10—H10A···O1ii and C12—H12A···O1ii interactions (Table 1) to form dimers, generating R12(6) and R22(10) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). Furthermore, these sets of ring motifs are connected into one-dimensional chains along the b-axis. In addition, the crystal structure is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C15—H15A···Cg1iii and C3—H3A···Cg2iii (Table 1) interactions (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C2–C7 and C11–C16 rings, respectively).
