The crystal structure of 3-chloropropionamide, C3H6 ClNO, (I), was determin
ed in order to obtain coordinates for molecular-orbital calculations. Inter
molecular N-H ... O and C-H ... O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into co

two-dimensional sheets parallel to the (100) plane. The bond distances are
C-Cl 1.793 (3), C=O 1.233 (3) and C-N 1.320 (3) Angstrom.
