Abstract: | The crystal structure of 3‐chloropropionamide, C3H6ClNO, (I), was determined in order to obtain coordinates for molecular‐orbital calculations. Intermolecular N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into continuous two‐dimensional sheets parallel to the (100) plane. The bond distances are C—Cl 1.793 (3), C=O 1.233 (3) and C—N 1.320 (3) Å. |
