A Redetermination of 1-(2-Fluorophenyl)-pyrrolidine-2,5-dione

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C10H8FNO2, has been redetermined with greater precision and with a detailed investigation of the inter-molecular inter-actions [previous report; space group: Pca21; cell: a = 11.064 (2), b = 10.271 (2), c = 8.053 (2) Å; R factor: 0,061; temperature (K): 295; Taira, Takayama & Terada (1988). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1439-1445]. The mol-ecule is non-planar with the benzene and pyrrolidine rings tilted by 63.18 (12)° with respect to one another. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C - H⋯O and C - H⋯F hydrogen bonds together with C - H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. The C - H⋯O and C - H⋯F hydrogen bonds generate edge-fused R 2 2(8)R 2 2(11)R 4 3(17) and R 6 4(25) hydrogen-bonded rings. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
