Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (2E)-3-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In title compound, C17H15ClO3, the dihedral angle between the benzene and chloro­phenyl rings is 18.46 (7)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen contacts, enclosing an R22(14) ring motif, and by a further C—H...O hydrogen contact, forming a two-dimensional supra­molecular structure extending along the direction parallel to the ac plane. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals inter­actions constitute the major contribution to the inter­molecular inter­actions, with H...H contacts accounting for 36.2% of the surface.
