N-(3-Chloro­phen­yl)maleimide

The title compound, C10H6ClNO2, has a dihedral angle of 46.46 (5)° between the benzene and maleimide rings. A short inter­molecular halogen–oxygen contact is observed, with a Cl⋯O distance of 3.0966 (13) A. Both CO groups are involved in two C—H⋯O inter­actions, which gives rise to sheets parallel to (100). In addition, these sheets exhibit a π–π stacking inter­action between the benzene and maleimide rings [mean inter­planar distance of 3.337 (3) A].
