N'-[(E)-1-(2-Fluoro-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C14H12FN3O, adopts an E conformation with respect to the azomethine bond. The pyridyl and fluoro-benzene rings make dihedral angles of 38.58?(6) and 41.61?(5)° respectively with the central C(=O)N2CC unit, resulting in a non-planar mol-ecule. The inter-molecular inter-actions comprise two classical N-H?O and N-H?N hydrogen bonds and four non-classical C-H?O and C-H?F hydrogen bonds. These inter-actions are augmented by a weak ?-? inter-action between the benzene and pyridyl rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.9226?(10)?Å. This leads to a three-dimensional supra-molecular assembly in the crystal system. The F atom is disordered over two sites in a 0.559?(3): 0.441?(3) ratio, through a 180° rotation of the fluoro-benzene ring.
