1-(Furan-2-yl)-2-(2H-indazol-2-yl)ethanone

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₃H ₁₀N₂O₂, contains two crystallographically independent molecules (A and B). The indazole ring systems are approximately planar [maximum deviations = 0.0037(15) and-0.0198(15)Å], and their mean planes are oriented at 80.10(5) and 65.97(4)° with respect to the furan rings in molecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, pairs of C-H..N hydrogen bonds link the B molecules, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are bridged by the A molecules via C-H..O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (011). There are also C-H..π interactions present, and π-π interactions between neighbouring furan and the indazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8708(9)Å] of inversion-related molecules, forming a three-dimensional structure.
