Crystal structure of 2,6-di-chloro-4-nitro-pyridine N-oxide.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C5H2Cl2N2O3, the nitro group is essentially coplanar with the aromatic ring, with a twist angle of 4.00?(6)° and a fold angle of 2.28?(17)°. The crystal structure exhibits a herringbone pattern with the zigzag running along the b axis. The herringbone layer-to-layer distance is 3.0075?(15)?Å, with a shift of 5.150?(4)?Å. Neighboring mol-ecules are tilted at a 57.83?(4)° (ring-to-ring) angle with each other. The nitro group on one mol-ecule points to the N-oxide group on the neighboring one, with an inter-molecular O?N(nitro) distance of 3.1725?(13)?Å.
