2-Bromo-3-nitro-benzaldehyde.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(7)H(4)BrNO(3), was isolated as a by-product while attempting to prepare a diselenide. There is a close intra-molecular Br?O contact [2.984?(2)?Å]. The mol-ecules form loosely associated dimers held together by weak inter-molecular Br?O inter-actions with the nitro O atoms [Br?O = 3.179?(3)?Å]. As a result of these inter-actions, there is also a close Br?Br inter-molecular contact [3.8714?(6)?Å]. In addition, there are weak inter-molecular C-H?O inter-actions. The combination of these inter-actions produces sheets which propagate in the (210) and (10) directions perpendicular to c.
