50. (b) Interesting feature in this structure is the gauche arrangement of the torsion angle S-C(1)-C(2)-N in the main chain that allows the p-fluoro-phenyl ring to lay in a plane almost orthogonal to the plane of the other two phenyl rings. The p-tolyl and the p-methoxy-phenyl rings are not coplanar for 7.3°. All bond distances and angles fall in the expected range. Weak interactions via quite long H-bonds are present between F, O(1), O(2) and hydrogen atoms of the nearest neighboring molecules.
