5-Fluoro-3-phenyl-N '-(4-propylcyclohexylidene)-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide

In the title compound, C24H26FN3O, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation; the propyl substituent is in an equatorial orientation and the bond-angle sum at the C atom bonded to the carbohydrazide N atom is 360.0 degrees. The dihedral angle between the 1H-indole ring system and the phenyl ring is 82.77 (13)degrees . A weak intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot pi contact occurs. In the crystal, pairs of molecules related by a crystallographic twofold axis are linked by bifurcated N-H center dot center dot center dot (O, N) hydrogen bonds; a C-H center dot center dot center dot O interaction occurs between the same pair. The dimers are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot F and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions, generating a three- dimensional network.
