2-Bromo-1-Chlorophenyl-3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)Prop-2-En-1-One

The geometrical parameters for the title compound, C16H12BrClO2, are normal. The observed bond lengths and angles imply that there is little electronic conjugation between the two benzene ring systems. An intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Br interaction may help to establish the molecular conformation. The crystal packing results in a centrosymmetric structure.
