N-(4-Bromophenyl)acetamide: A new polymorph

Abstract

A new polymorph of the title compound, C8H8BrNO, has been determined at 173 K in the space group P21/c. The previous room-temperature structure was reported to crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 [Andreetti et al. (1968). Acta Cryst. B24, 1195-1198]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N - H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [010]. Weak C - H⋯π interactions are also present. © 2013 Jasinski et al.
