title: 4-[(1E)-3-(2,6-Dichloro-3-fluoro-phen-yl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]benzonitrile.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C(16)H(8)Cl(2)FNO, the benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 78.69 (8)°. The F atom is disordered over two positions in a 0.530 (3):0.470 (3) ratio. The crystal packing exhibits π-π inter-actions between dichloro-substituted rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6671 (10) Å] and weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F contacts.
