o-Methyl­seleno­benzoyl cyanide

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₉H₇NOSe, a potential anti-oxidizing agent, the whole mol­ecule lies in the (0,y,z) plane except for two methyl H atoms, whose positions are symmetry-related across that plane. A close Se⋯Se contact [3.359 (2) Å] is observed. There are no hydrogen bonds.
