ABSTRACT
The title compound, C31H27F3O7, is a liquid crystal and exhibits enanti-otropic SmA and nematic phase transitions. In the crystal, the the 2H-chromene ring system makes dihedral angles of 54.46â (17) and 7.79â (16)°, respectively, with the central benzene ring and 4-(hept-yloxy)benzene ring. The three F atoms of the -CF3 group are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.62â (3):0.38â (3). The crystal structre features two pairs of C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds, which form inversion dimers and generate R 2 (2)(10) and R 2 (2)(30) ring patterns. C-Hâ¯O inter-actions along [100] and C-Hâ¯π inter-actions futher consolidate the packing, leading to a three-dimensional network.
ABSTRACT
The non-H atoms of the title compound, C(11)H(6)BrFO(3), are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.074â Å). In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-Hâ¯O and C-Hâ¯Br inter-actions.
