Abstract

The crystal structure of N-methyl-N-nitro-2-chloroaniline is determined by X-ray diffraction [a = 9.218(2) Å, b = 12.593(3) Å, c = 14.510(2) Å, space group Pbca, and Z = 8]. The structure is solved by the direct method and refined in the anisotropic approximation to R = 0.0377. All hydrogen atoms are localized. The structural parameters obtained agree with the data of the ab initio quantum-chemical B3LYP/6-31G** calculations. The data obtained are compared with those for N-methyl-N-nitro-4-chloroaniline. Conclusions on the interaction of the functional groups in the molecule are drawn.
