title: (2E)-3-[4-(Dimethyl-amino)-phen-yl]-1-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The mean planes of the two benzene rings in the title compound, C(17)H(16)FNO, are twisted slightly, making a dihedral angle of 7.8 (1)°. The prop-2-en-1-one group is also twisted slightly with a C-C-C-O torsion angle of -11.6 (3)°. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link pairs of mol-ecules, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
