**2.8 Synthesis of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,4,5-triphenyl-1***H***-imidazole (C27H19FN2): FPTPI**

Over an hour at a constant temperature of 333 K, 15 mmol of aniline, 15 mmol of ammonium acetate, and 15 mmol of p-fluorobenzaldehyde were added to 15 mmol of benzil in 10 ml of ethanol. The actions that follow are completed in the manner outlined in DMDPIMH. The yield was 3.51 g or 60% (**Figure 1**). The X-ray diffraction data were gathered using a suitable single crystal [17].
