The title compound N-（2,6-difluorobenzoyl）-N＇-[5-（4-trifluoromethylphenyl）-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]urea（C17H9F5N4O2S,Mr = 428.34） has been synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-5-（4-trifluoromethylphenyl）-1,3,4-thiadiazole with 2,6-difluorobenzoyl isocyanate,and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The crystal belongs to monoclinic,space group P21/n with a = 10.7316（13）,b = 10.5617（13）,c = 16.037（2） ,β = 106.408（2）°,V = 1743.6（4） 3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.632 g/cm3,μ = 0.260 mm-1,F（000） = 864,the final R = 0.0599 and wR = 0.1420 for 3467 observed reflections with I〉 2σ（I）.The urea group,which adopts a planar configuration mediated by the intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond,is nearly coplanar with the thiadiazole and 4-trifluoromethylbenzene rings.The title compound was found to exhibit good fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea.
