5-Fluoro-N '-[(E)-4-methoxybenzylidene]-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide

Abstract

In the title molecule, C(23)H(18)FN(3)O(2), the mean plane of the indole system forms dihedral angles of 44.23 (8) and 14.54 (7)degrees, respectively, with the phenyl and benzene rings. In the crystal, intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link molecules into two-layer ribbons extended along the b axis. The crystal packing also exhibits weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O, C-H center dot center dot center dot F and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
