Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun. 2015 Oct 3;71(Pt 11):o813. doi: 10.1107/S2056989015017946. eCollection 2015 Nov 1.

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H4BrN3O4, the dihedral angles between the nitro groups and the aniline ring are 2.04 (3) and 1.18 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak side-on C-Br⋯π inter-actions [3.5024 (12) Å] link adjacent mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. A close O⋯Br contact [3.259 (2) Å] may also add additional stability.

Keywords: C—Br⋯π inter­actions; aniline derivative; crystal structure; hydrogen bonding.
