title: Crystal structure of the chalcone (E)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The title chalcone derivative, C13H10O2, adopts an E conformation about the C=C double bond. The mol-ecule is composed of a furanyl and a phenyl ring, bridged by an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system, which are inclined to one another by 24.07 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the carbonyl O atom acting as a trifurcated acceptor and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming ribbons extending along the c-axis direction.
