Structural analysis of chalcone derivative: 2‐{4‐[(2E)‐3‐(4‐fluorophenyl)prop‐2‐enoyl]phenoxy}acetic acid hydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from X-ray diffraction studies. The compound crystallizes from methanol in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c with unit cell parameters: a = 10.647 (8), b = 8.494 (6), c = 16.743 (12) Å, β = 92.731 (13)°, Z = 4, V = 1512.4(19) Å3. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined to a final R-factor of 0.06. The two six-membered rings, A and B are planar with RMS deviation of fitted atoms is 0.0041 Å and the structure is stabilized by strong OH..O, weak CH…O, and CH…F interactions.

The crystal structure analysis of title compound has been carried out using single crystal diffraction studies.36
