1-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H10N2O3, the five- and six-membered rings form a dihedral angle of 83.96 (6)°. The nitro group is twisted by 5.92 (8)° from the plane of the attached benzene ring. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into columns in the [100] direction, with a short distance of 3.725 (3) Å between the centroids of benzene rings inside these columns.
