The molecular structure of the title chalcone derivative, C15H10FNO3, is nearly planar and the molecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=C double bond. The nitro group is nearly coplanar with the attached benzene ring, which is nearly parallel to the second benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are connected by pairs of weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked by another C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a C—H⋯F hydrogen bond into sheets parallel to (104). π–π interactions occur between the sheets, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8860 (11) Å. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate and quantify the intermolecular interactions.

1. Chemical context
Non-linear optics (NLO) is the study of interactions between intense light and matter, in which the etc (Boulanger & Zyss, 2006). Chalcone is one of the NLO materials and is known for its high NLO coefficients and good crystallizability (Prabhu et al., 2013). Donor–acceptor substituted chalcone derivatives consist of two substituted phenyl rings covalently bonded to the ends of a α,β-unsaturated propenone bridge (C=C—C=O), which provides the necessary configuration for intramolecular charge transfer to show NLO properties (Fun et al., 2011). However, organic chalcone derivatives with a low melting point are at a disadvantage for applications as optical instruments. In a continuation of our ongoing studies on non-linear optical properties of various chalcone derivatives (Chandra Shekhara Shetty et al., 2017; Ekbote et al., 2017; Kwong et al., 2018), we report herein the synthesis, and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound.

The para-substituted phenyl rings and an enone connecting bridge (Fig. 1). The molecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C8=C9 olefinic double bond, as indicated by the C7—C8—C9—C10 torsion angle of −179.96 (15)°. The C7=O3 carbonyl group adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the C8=C9 double bond as indicated by O3—C7—C8—C9 torsion angle of −0.8 (3)°. The molecule (excluding H atoms) is nearly planar with a maximum deviation of 0.103 (2) Å at atom O1 of the terminal nitro group. The nitro group is nearly coplanar with the attached C1–C6 benzene ring as indicated by the small dihedral angle of 7.9 (2)°. The C1–C6 and C10–C15 benzene rings make a small dihedral angle of 4.27 (8)° with each other.
of the title chalcone derivative consists of a unique molecule, containing two3. Supramolecular features
In the crystal, molecules are connected by pairs of weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (C11—H11A⋯O3ii; symmetry code as in Table 1) into inversion dimers with an R22(14) ring motif. These dimers are further linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds (C15—H15A⋯O1iii and C4—H4A⋯F1i; Table 1) into two-dimensional sheets parallel to (104) (Fig. 2). Weak π–π interactions occur between the sheets [Cg1⋯Cg1iv,v and Cg2⋯Cg2iv,v = 3.8860 (11) Å, where Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C1–C6 and C10–C15 benzene rings, respectively; symmetry codes: (iv) x − 1, y, z; (v) x + 1, y, z] (Fig. 3).
4. Hirshfeld surface analysis
The Hirsheld surfaces mapped with normalized contact distance dnorm and electrostatic potentials, and the two-dimensional fingerprint plot were generated using CrystalExplorer (Version 17.5; Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009; Spackman & McKinnon, 2002; Spackman et al., 2008; Turner et al., 2017). The darkest red spots on the Hirshfeld surface mapped with dnorm [Fig. 4(a)] correspond to the C11—H11A⋯O3 hydrogen bond. The C4—H4A⋯F1 and C15—H15A⋯O1 hydrogen bonds are indicated as two pairs of lighter red spots on the dnorm surface. The H12A⋯F1 contact, with its H⋯F distance shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii by 0.01 Å, appears as two tiny red spots on the dnorm surface. The donor and acceptor of a hydrogen bond with positive and negative electrostatic potentials, respectively, are represented as blue and red regions on the Hirshfeld surface mapped with electrostatic potential [Fig. 4(b)]. The electrostatic potential of the F atom is less negative as compared to the O atoms of nitro and carbonyl groups, as indicated by the lighter red region. The H⋯O/O⋯H contacts are the most populated contacts and contribute 30.2% of the total intermolecular contacts, followed by H⋯H (20.6%), H⋯C/C⋯H (18.0%), H⋯F/F⋯H (13.1%) and C⋯C (10.1%) contacts (Fig. 5). The shortest H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯F/F⋯H contacts are represented as the tips of the pseudo-mirrored sharp spikes and blunt peaks at de + di ≃ 2.3 and 2.4 Å, respectively, which correspond to the C11—H11A⋯O3 and C4—H4A⋯F1 hydrogen bonds. The characteristic `wings' are missing in the fingerprint plot of H⋯C/C⋯H contacts, indicating the absence of any significant C—H⋯π interactions in the crystal. The C⋯C contacts, including the intermolecular π–π interactions, appear as a unique `triangle' focused at de ≃ di ≃ 1.8 Å. The presence of significant π–π interactions is supported by the unique pattern of red and blue `triangles' on the shape-index surface (Fig. 6), and the flat regions on the curvedness surface (Fig. 7) of the benzene rings.
5. Database survey
The bond lengths and bond angles of the title compound are comparable with those in two similar structures, viz., (E)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (refcode BUDXOO; Jing, 2009a) and (E)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (refcode BUDYOP; Jing, 2009b) found in the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.39; Groom et al., 2016). The molecular conformations of these two structures are nearly planar, with small dihedral angles of 5.00 (6) and 10.60 (11)°, respectively, between the phenyl rings.
6. Synthesis and crystallization
4-Nitroacetophenone (1.65 g, 0.01 mol) and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (1.24 g, 0.01 mol) were dissolved in methanol (20 ml). A catalytic amount of NaOH was added to the solution dropwise with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for about 6 h at room temperature. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The formed crude product was filtered, washed repeatedly with distilled water and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain the title chalcone derivative. Yellowish single-crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained from an acetone solution by slow evaporation at room temperature.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
