4-Anilino-3-nitro-benzonitrile.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(13)H(9)N(3)O(2), the aromatic rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 49.41?(9)°. The nitro group and the nitrile group are nearly in the plane of the benzonitrile ring, the largest deviation from the plane being 0.123?(1)?Å. There is an intra-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring. Weak inter-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a chain parallel to the c axis. Futhermore, slipped ?-? inter-actions between symmetry-related phenyl rings [centroid-centroid distance 3.808?(1)?Å, inter-planar distance 3.544?(8)?Å with an offset of 21.5°] stabilize the structure.
