2-Chloro-N-methylacetamide revisited: a low-temperature study

A. S. de Sousa, H. M. Marques and M. A. Fernandes

Abstract: The title compound, C₃H₆ClNO, contains two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. A planar molecule (type A) and a slightly twisted molecule (type B) form alternating pairs of adjacent layers parallel to (010). Consecutive type A layers are related through centers of inversion at y = 0 and ½, while type B layers are related by twofold screw axes at y = ¼ and ¾.
