N,N′-Bis­[(E)-2-fluoro­benzyl­idene]-1-(2-fluoro­phen­yl)methane­diamine

In the title compound, C(21)H(15)F(3)N(2), the benzene ring bonded to the central C atom forms dihedral angles of 77.5 (7) and 89.0 (5)°, respectively, with the remaining two benzene rings. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains propagated in [101]. The crystal packing exhibits weak π–π inter­actions as evidenced by relatively short distances between the centroids of the aromatic rings [3.820 (7) and 3.971 (5) Å]. A MOPAC PM3 optimization of the mol­ecular geometry in vacuo supports a suggestion that inter­molecular forces have a significnt influence on the mol­ecular conformation in the crystal.
