title: Crystal structure of 2-fluoro-N-(1,3-thia-zol-2-yl)benzamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C10H7FN2OS, the mean plane of the central amide fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.048 Å) makes dihedral angles of 35.28 (8) and 10.14 (12)° with those of the fluoro-benzene and thia-zole rings, respectively. The thia-zole S and amide O atoms lie to the same side of the mol-ecule. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into inversion dimers with R 2 (2)(8) motifs, and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions connect the mol-ecules into C(6) [001] chains. Together, the N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate (100) sheets.
