The title compound, C8H13NO2Se, crystallizes as a non-merohedral twin with an approximate 9:1 component ratio with two symmetry-independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Our density-functional theory (DFT) computations indicate that the carb-oxy C atom is expected to be slightly pyramidal due to an n→ π* inter-action, wherein the lone pair (n) of the Se atom overlap with the anti-bonding orbital (π*) of the carbonyl group. Such pyramidalization is observed in one mol-ecule of the title compound but not the other.
标题化合物C₈H₁₃NO₂Se以非镜像孪晶形式结晶,非对称单元中有两个对称独立的分子,其组成比例约为9:1。我们的密度泛函理论(DFT)计算表明,由于n→π相互作用,羧基C原子预计会略微呈金字塔形,其中Se原子的孤对电子(n)与羰基的反键轨道(π)重叠。在标题化合物的一个分子中观察到了这种金字塔化,但在另一个分子中没有。
