Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of ()-3-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-1-(2,5-di-chloro-thio-phen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, CHClOS, consists of a 2,5- di-chloro-thio-phene ring and a 2-chloro-phenyl ring linked a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The dihedral angle between the 2,5-di-chloro-thio-phene and 2-chloro-phenyl rings is 9.69 (12)°. The mol-ecule has an configuration about the C=C bond and the carbonyl group is with respect to the C=C bond. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by two intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contacts and one intra-molecular C-H⋯O contact, forming (5)(5)(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked along the -axis direction through van der Waals forces and along the axis by face-to-face π-stacking between the thio-phene rings and between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, forming corrugated sheets lying parallel to the plane. The inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are Cl⋯H/ H⋯Cl (28.6%), followed by C⋯H/H⋯C (11.9%), C⋯C (11.1%), H⋯H (11.0%), Cl⋯Cl (8.1%), O⋯H/H⋯O (8.0%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (6.6%).
