(1E,4E)-1,5-Bis(2,6-difluorophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C17H10F4O, is roughly planar, with a dihedral angle of 5.59 (14)° between the two phenyl rings. The molecule has an E conformation with respect to the olefinic bonds. In the crystal, molecules are connected through C—H...O hydrogen bonds and there is slipped π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7983 (18), slippage =1.309 ;Å] between symmetry-related benzene rings.
