Dimethyl 2,2′-di­nitro­biphenyl-4,4′-di­carboxyl­ate

Abstract

The title compound, C16H12N2O8, exhibits two near-planar aromatic ester groups with ar-yl-ester dihedral angles of 2.1 (2) and 4.2 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 58.0 (1)°. The two nitro groups are tilted slightly from the plane of the aromatic rings, making dihedral angles of 14.1 (1) and 8.2 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
