2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C25H15FN4·H2O, the fused ring system is essentially planar [maximum deviation of 0.0822 (14) Å]. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 76.83 (7) and 32.22 (7)° with the phenyl group attached to nitrogen and the fluorobenzene group to carbon, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 72.13 (7)°. Intermolecular O—H...N, O—H...F, C—H...F, C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds are found in the crystal structure.
