In the title compound, C(23)H(14)F(8)N(2)S, the dihedral angles between the pyrrole and thio-phene groups and the almost planar C-C=C-C unit of the cyclo-pentene ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.4193 Å) are 43.6 (5) and 50.1 (2)°, respectively. The distance of 3.612 (3) Å between the potentially reactive C atoms of the two heteroaryl substituents is short enough to enable a photocyclization reaction.
