3-(4-Fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-A]pyridine-2-carbaldehyde

In the title compound, C14H9FN2O, the dihedral angle between the imidazo-pyridine fused ring system and the pendant fluorophenyl ring is 53.77(4)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (30.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (23.7%), H⋯O/O⋯H (12.2%) and H⋯F/F⋯H (11.1%) interactions.
