In the crystal of the title compound, C7H6N2Se, the mol­ecules are arranged in rods along the b-axis direction and form dimeric units due to inter­molecular Se⋯N contacts of 2.982 (2) Å. The mol­ecules are further linked by weak ππ stacking inter­actions between the 2,1,3-selena­diazole and six-membered aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8509 (11) Å and ring slippage = 1.539 (3) Å].

Structure description

Organoselenium compounds are commonly found to be efficient catalysts in a variety of organic reactions, for example, the allylic chlorination of terpenic olefins (Boualy et al., 2016[Boualy, B., El Hossame, S., Sancineto, L., Santi, C., Ait Ali, M., El Firdoussi, L. & Stoeckli-Evans, H. (2016). New J. Chem. 40, 3395-3399.]). Various seleno­heterocyclic compounds are widely employed as ligands in asymmetric syntheses (Zhou et al., 2005[Zhou, A., Zheng, S., Fang, Y. & Tong, M. (2005). Inorg. Chem. 44, 4457-4459.]). They are also used as structure motifs in bioactive mol­ecules, such as anti­oxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, cytokine inducers, enzyme inhibitors, anti­tumor and anti­cancer agents (Mlochowski et al., 2007[Mlochowski, J., Kloc, K., Lisiak, R., Potaczek, P. & Wojtowicz, H. (2007). Arkivoc, 6, 14-46.]; Mugesh et al., 2001[Mugesh, G., Du Mont, W. & Seis, H. (2001). Chem. Rev. 101, 2125-2179.]; Osajda et al., 2001[Osajda, M., Kloc, K., Mlochowski, J., Plassecki, E. & Rybka, K. (2001). Pol. J. Chem. 75, 823-830.]).

The mol­ecule of the title compound (Fig. 1[link]) is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.008 Å; maximum deviation = 0.012 (2) Å for atom C5]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are arranged in rods along the b axis. As found for 4,5,6,7-tetra­methyl-2,1,3-benzoselena­diazole and their co-crystals, inter­molecular Se⋯N inter­actions are also observed (Eichstaedt et al., 2016[Eichstaedt, K., Wasilewska, A., Wicher, B., Gdaniec, M. & Połoński, T. (2016). Cryst. Growth Des. 16, 1282-1293.]), forming dimeric units. The Se⋯N distance in the title compound is 2.982 (2) Å. The dimers are further linked by weak ππ stacking inter­actions between the 2,1,3-selena­diazole and the six-membered aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8509 (11) Å and ring slippage = 1.539 (3) Å] (Fig. 2[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

4-Methyl-o-phenyl­enedi­amine (0.25 g, 2.04 mmol) and SeO2 (0.22 g, 1.96 mmol) were dissolved in 5 ml of N,N-di­methyl­formamide. After stirring for 24 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with 30 ml of water and extracted three times with 20 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated under vacuum. The pure product was isolated by column chromatography on silica gel using hexa­ne/ethyl acetate (90:10 v/v) as eluent (yield 81%). Colourless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a chloro­form solution.

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1[link]. All H atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding-atom approximation, with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. A rotating model was used for the methyl groups.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
