The X-ray crystallographic structures of nine fluorinated N-(pyridin-4-yl)-N'-phenylureas have been determined inorder to study the effect of the regiochemistry and degree of fluorination of the phenyl ring on their solid-state organization. Theanalysis of the data obtained suggests that, in addition to the traditional N-H···N and N-H···O strong interactions, the less commonand weaker F-based intermolecular interactions also play an important role in the organization of the crystal structure of these ureas,which show specific models of crystal packing as a function of the pattern of fluorine substitution. Particularly relevant are the shortdistances and strongly directional C-H···F-C interactions observed in most of these crystal structures.
