Crystal structure of 1-(2-fluoro-benzo-yl)-2,7-di-meth-oxy-naphthalene.

The asymmetric unit of the compound, C19H15FO3, contains two independent molecules.

1-[(Anthracen-9-yl)carbon-yl]-2,7-di-meth-oxy-naphthalene: a chain-like structure composed of face-to-face type dimeric mol-ecular aggregates.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C27H20O3, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B). The anthracene ring system is connected to the 2,7-di-meth-oxy-naphthalene core in a twisted manner, with dihedral angles of 86.38 (5) and 79.36 (8)°, respectively, for conformers A and B. In the crystal, face-to-face type dimeric mol-ecular aggregates of each conformer are observed. The dimer of conformer A is formed by two pairs of C-H⋯π inter-actions, and that of conformer B by a pair of (sp2)C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers of conformer A are linked to each other via a π-π stacking inter-action between the anthracene rings to form a chain along the b axis and the chains are aligned along the c axis, forming a sheet structure. The dimers of conformer B are connected to each other via a couple of C-H⋯π inter-actions to form a chain along the b axis. The chains are aligned along the c axis through (sp2)C-H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet parallel to the bc plane. The sheets of conformers A and B are alternately stacked along the a axis via two kinds of inter-molecular (sp2)C-H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds.
