title: Crystal structure of metobromuron.
abstract: The title compound [systematic name: 3-(4-bromo-phen-yl)-1-meth-oxy-1-methyl-urea], C9H11BrN2O2, is a phenyl-urea herbicide. The dihedral angle between the plane of the urea group and that of the bromo-phenyl ring is 39.13 (10)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions link adjacent mol-ecules, forming chains along the a-axis direction. In addition, short inter-molecular Br⋯Br contacts [3.648 (4) Å] are present, resulting in a two-dimensional network extending parallel to (101).
