The title compound, C17H13FN2, was synthesized as a potential ligand for the construction of metal-organic frameworks. The two indole motifs present two potential coordination modes. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic system with space group P212121. The dihedral angle between the fused ring systems is 68.77 (10)°. Weak F⋯H inter-actions are observed in the crystal.
Keywords: crystal structure.
