The structure of anti-e-bromoacetophenone oxime (CsHsNOBr) was solved by Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis to a final RI = 0.046; space group: 14, Z= 8. The distances and angles are similar to those observed in other oxime structures. The phenyl group and the oxime function are not coplanar, the angle between their normals being 54.3 °. Molecules are linked into tetramers by O-H.--N hydrogen bonds about an $4 axis at -}, 0, z, with both the oxygens and nitrogens assuming nearly tetrahedral arrangements. A cluster of four bromine atoms make van der Waals contacts of 3.681 ,~ about an $4 axis at 0, 0, z.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
