Methyl 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C8H6ClNO4, the molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions to form a chain parallel to the a axis. The chains are further connected by slipped π–π stacking between symmetry-related benzene rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.646 (2) Å and an interplanar distance of 3.474 Å, resulting in an offset of 1.106 Å.
