C6H4N204 is monoclinic, space group P21/n , with a = 11.137(2), b = 5.461 (1), c = 5.684(3) /l,, fl = 92.22 (4) ° , Z = 2. The final R is 0.0408 for 559 independent counter intensities. The benzene ring has mmm symmetry within experimental error. The distortions from 6/mmm symmetry are quite marked, and involve bond lengths as well as angles; they testify to the strong a-electron-withdrawing character of the substituent. The value of the internal angle at the ipso atom, CtNo 2 = 123.4 (1) °, is in good agreement with values reported for other molecules where the nitro group is para to a 7r acceptor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
