2-(4-Iodophenoxy) acetamide

The molecule of the title compound, C8H8INO2, amide-typical resonance shortens the nominal C-N single bond to 1.322 (7) angstrom. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds involving both nitrogen-bound H atoms as well as C-H center dot center dot center dot O contacts connect the molecules into double layers approximately perpendicular to the crystallographic b axis. No pi-stacking is apparent in the crystal structure.
