[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1,3-selenazol-4-yl]methanol

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H8ClNOSe, the dihedral angle between benzene and selenazole rings is 11.4 (3)° and the hydroxymethyl group is bent from the selenazole ring, making a dihedral angle of 63.8 (3)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into inversion dimers by pairs of O—H...N hydrogen bonds. Roof-tile-like stacking of the molecules along [010] [b = 4.5707 (4) Å] is observed, with the benzene and selenazole rings separated by a face-to-face distance of 3.57 Å and a mutual slippage of 2.85 Å.
