Abstract

In the title compound, C(10)H(9)Cl(2)NO(3), the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the plane of the nitro group is 39.1 (1)°, while that between the benzene ring and the plane through the three C and two Cl atoms of the dichloro-all-yloxy unit is 40.1 (1)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the nitro groups form chains along the b axis. These chains are linked by inversion-related pairs of Cl⋯O inter-actions at a distance of 3.060 (3) Å, forming sheets approximately parallel to [-201] and generating R(2) (2)(18) rings. π-π contacts between benzene rings in adjacent sheets, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.671 (2) Å, stack mol-ecules along c.
