title: N-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)acetamide: a new polymorph.
abstract: A new polymorph of the title compound, C8H8BrNO, has been determined at 173 K in the space group P21/c. The previous room-temperature structure was reported to crystallize in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pna21 [Andreetti et al. (1968 ▶). Acta Cryst. B24, 1195-1198]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [010]. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present.
