2-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-5-iodo-3-phenyl-sulfinyl-1-benzofuran.

In the title compound, C(20)H(12)FIO(2)S, the dihedral angles between the mean plane [r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 (1) Å] of the benzofuran fragment and the pendant 4-fluoro-phenyl and phenyl rings are 8.0 (1) and 86.06 (6)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also exhibits weak π-π inter-actions between the furan and benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.547 (2) Å, inter-planar distance = 3.397 (2) Å and slippage = 1.021 (2) Å].
