5-Methylbenzo[d][2,1,3]selenadiazole

Abstract

In the crystal of the title compound, C7H6N2Se, the molecules are arranged in rods along theb-axis direction and form dimeric units due to intermolecular Se...N contacts of 2.982 (2) Å. The molecules are further linked by weak π–π stacking interactions between the 2,1,3-selenadiazole and six-membered aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8509 (11) Å and ring slippage = 1.539 (3) Å].
