title: Crystal structure of 2-(p-tol-yl)-6-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)benzo[b]thio-phene-3-carbo-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H10F3NS, the dihedral angle between the fused benzo-thio-phene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.042 Å) and the benzene ring is 29.78 (11)°. The crystal structure features C-H⋯F and very weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which generate (001) sheets.
