Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (2E,20E)-3,30-(1,4-phenylene)bis[1-(2,4-difluorophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C24H14F4O2, comprises of one and a half molecules; the half-molecule is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H� � �F and C—H� � �O hydrogen bonds. Some of the C—H� � �F links are unusually short (< 2.20 A ° ). Hirshfeld surface analyses (dnorm surfaces and twodimensional fingerprint plots) for the title compound are presented and discussed
