Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-1-[2,2-dichloro-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethenyl]-2-(4-fluorophenyl)diazene

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H8Cl2FN3O2, the 4-fluorophenyl ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 63.29 (8)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to the c axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—Cl...π, C—F...π and N—O...π interactions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...O/O...H (15.5%), H...H (15.3%), Cl...H/H...Cl (13.8%), C...H/H...C (9.5%) and F...H/H...F (8.2%) interactions.
