2-[(6-Nitro-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methylidene]malononitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C11H5N3O4, the nitro group is rotated by 29.91 (16)° out of the plane of the adjacent aryl ring. The 1,3-benzodioxole ring is nearly planar, with a maximium deviation of 0.0562 (10) Å. The dioxolene ring adopts an envelope conformation on the O—C—O C atom. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H...O interactions, resulting in R22(6) and R22(12) graph-set motifs.
