2-Azido-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C8H6N4O3, the ketone [C—C(=O)—C] and nitro groups are tilted with respect to the benzene ring by 18.92 (6) and 24.11 (15)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked into interwoven chains running parallel to the [100] direction by C—H...N hydrogen bonds and weak π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid separations of 3.897 (3) Å.
