Intramolecular C-HÁ Á ÁO, C-HÁ Á ÁF and C-HÁ Á ÁS hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two nearly planar five-membered rings and one non-planar sixmembered ring, the five-membered rings being also nearly coplanar with the adjacent rings. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-HÁ Á ÁO and C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds link the molecules.
