Crystal structure of (E)-2-fluoro-benz-aldehyde (pyridin-2-yl)hydrazone.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C12H10FN3, is approximately planar: the dihedral angles between the mean plane of the central N-N=C spacer unit and the fluoro-benzene and pyridine rings are 14.50?(13) and 4.85?(15)°, respectively, while the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 16.29?(6)°. The F atom lies at the same side of the mol-ecule as the N atom of the pyridine ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H?N hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(8) loops. Mol-ecules related by translation in the a direction are linked by two ?-? stacking inter-actions involving pairs of benzene rings and pairs of pyridine rings. In each case, the ring-centroid separation is 3.8517?(9)?Å. Two chains of this type pass through each unit cell, but there are no direction-specific inter-actions between adjacent chains.
