(2E)-3-(3-Bromo-phen-yl)-1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one: a non-merohedral twin
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(15)H(10)BrClO, the mol-ecule adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C double bond and the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 3.98 (16)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C-H⋯O bonds are seen and weak π-π stacking [centroid-centroid separation = 3.8776 (19) Å] may further consolidate the structure. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a ratio of the twin components of 0.9093 (13):0.0907 (13). The twin operation is a twofold rotation around c*.

An isomer is called cis-2-butene when the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond, and the other stereoisomer, in which methyl groups are on the opposite side of the double bond, is called trans-2-butene. The cis and trans stereoisomers are not...
