(E)-1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

The title compound, C16H13FO, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C bond of the propenone unit. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 47.0 (5)°. Intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, molecules are packed into columns along the c axis and the structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions involving both aromatic rings.
