(2E)-1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]prop-2-en-1-one
Abstract
In the title compound, C24H15Cl2N3O3, the C=C double bond is E configured. The 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole moiety is roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation of all fitted non-H atoms = 0.0780 Å), but the mean planes of the two components are inclined at an angle of 9.95 (7)°. The mean plane defined by the non-H atoms of the 1H-pyrazole ring encloses angles of 9.95 (7), 24.54 (6) and 43.02 (6)° with the mean planes of the different benzene rings. In the crystal, C—H...O contacts are present and result in the formation of a double-layer two-dimensional network lying parallel to (110). The shortest intercentroid distance between two aromatic systems is 3.5455 (7) Å and is apparent between two pyrazole systems. Further π–π interactions are manifest between a pair of 4-nitrophenyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.6443 (7) Å] and a pair of 2,4-dichlorophenyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7797 (7) Å].
