Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-(2-Fluorophenyl)-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-1-one

The compound 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-1-one, was synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR spectrum and X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c with a = 11.757(15), b = 4.904(6), c = 21.50(3) angstrom, beta = 118.11(6)degrees, C(11)H(10)N(3)OF, M(r) = 219.21, V = 1093(2)angstrom(3), Z = 4, Dc = 1.326 g/cm(3), F(000) = 452, mu = 0.101 mm(-1), final R(1) = 0.1101. The triazole ring and 2-fluorophenyl ring makes dihedral angles of 85.97 degrees. There is obvious potentially weak intra- and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds in the crystal, which stabilizes the crystal structure.
