title: 2-anilinomethylene-3-oxobutanenitrile: an X-ray and density functional theory study.
abstract: Molecules of the title compound, C11H10N2O, are effectively planar. In the crystal structure, they are stabilized primarily by electrostatic interactions, as the dipole moment of the molecule is 4.56 D. In addition, the molecules are linked by weak C-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds. An analysis of bonding conditions in the molecule was carried out using natural bond orbital (NBO) formalism.
