title: (2E)-1-[2,3-Dichloro-6-methyl-5-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]-2-(1-phenyl-ethyl-idene)hydrazine.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(13)Cl(2)F(3)N(2), exists in an E conformation with respect to the C=N bond [1.2952 (11) Å] and the C-N-N=C torsion angle is 175.65 (8)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 42.09 (4)°. An intra-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into [101] chains by C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
