5‐Chloro‐4‐chloromethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐selenazole

The title compound, C10H7Cl2NSe, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. All atoms in each mol­ecule are nearly coplanar, except for H2Cl of the chloro­methyl group. The mol­ecular structure presents two weak intra­molecular C—H⋯Se and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
