Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of the methyl ester ofα-cyanocinnamic acid [(E)-methyl-α-cyanocinnamate] has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data. C11H9NO2 is monoclinic, space groupC2/c,Z=8,a=12.386(2),b=8.237(1),c=19.320(2) Å,β=98.49(5)°. The He(I) and He(II) photoelectron (PE) spectra of (E)-methyl-α-cyanocinnamate are presented and discussed in comparison with those of previously investigated molecules, within a comprehensive investigation of the electronic structure ofα,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives and related compounds.
