Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-3-(2-chloro-4-fluoro­phen­yl)-1-(2,5-di­chloro­thio­phen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title chalcone–thio­phene derivative, C(13)H(6)Cl(3)FOS, the aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 12.9 (2)°, and the thio­phene ring is affected by π-conjugation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming an R (2) (2)(8) ring motif. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contribution of the different inter­molecular inter­actions. The shape-index surface clearly shows that the two sides of the mol­ecules are involved in the same contacts with neighbouring mol­ecules and the curvedness plots show flat surface patches characteristic of planar stacking.
