title: (E)-3-(4-Bromo-5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl)acrylo-nitrile.
abstract: In the title structure, C8H6BrNS, the molecules are planar with the exception of the methyl H atoms. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular C-H⋯N interactions to form ribbons parallel to the b axis. Groups of ribbons are arranged in a herringbone pattern to form a layered structure parallel to the ab plane.
