Abstract
The title compound, 1-bromo-4-methylselenobenzene, C7H7BrSe, was prepared by methylation of 4-bromoselenophenolate with methyl iodide, and crystals suitable for structure determination were obtained by sublimation. The molecule is essentially planar; the Se—Me bond is rotated by only 2.59 (19)° out of the least-squares plane of the benzene ring. The most pronounced intermolecular interactions are two hydrogen bonds of the type C—H⋯π, which determine a herring-bone pattern in the crystal packing.
