Abstract
Abstract The title compounds (2E)-1-(4-2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one (I) and 2E)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-[4-(propan-2-yl) phenyl]prop-2-en-1-one (II), have been synthesized by the base catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of 4-(propan-2-yl)benzaldehyde with substituted acetophenones. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In I and II, the dihedral angle between the terminal rings are 54.68 (19)° and 53.42 (8)°, respectively. The intra molecular hydrogen bond of the type C H⋯O is observed in both the title compounds. The crystal structure is stabilized through C O⋯π (I) and C F⋯π (II) weak intermolecular interactions. Hirshfeld surfaces analysis computational method was carried to quantify the intermolecular interactions. The 2D finger print plots and electrostatic potential were plotted to evidence the intermolecular interactions.
