(Z)-5-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)-3-{[(3,5-di-chloro-phen-yl)amino]-methyl-idene}furan-2(3H)-one.

The title compound, C(17)H(10)BrCl(2)NO(2), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a large cell volume of 6207†(3)†à (3). The asymmetric unit of the title compound investigated at 120†K contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (Z' = 2). Each mol-ecule demonstrates slight non-planarity in the solid state and a Z-configuration for the exocyclic C=C bond. The crystal packing reveals the presence of π-π stacking inter-actions between the substituted benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances of 3.836†(5)†à , shift distances in the range 1.272-1.843†à ].
