The experimental evidence for the polarization of the electron density on the fluorine atom of the trifluoromethyl group in the crystal results in the formation of an electron deficient region. This facilitates F......F halogen bond formation along with the subsequent presence of short C - H...F intermolecular contacts (rare geometry) which are a significant electronic and structural feature. This study proves that such an interaction has a substantial electrostatic contribution. It breaks the long-accepted lore that organic fluorine is not polarizable.
