Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, space group P21/c , with a = 6-14 (1), b = 26.405 (15), c = 7.47 (1)/~, fl = 114.42 (5) °, Z = 4. The structure was determined by direct methods from X-ray counter data and refined by least-squares calculations to R = 4.6% for 1264 observed amplitudes. The molecules pack in a disordered manner, so that the H atom and the three ortho F atoms are distributed (unequally) over the four ortho positions. The angle between the phenyl rings is 59.5 ° and the length of the inter-ring bond is
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
