2,4-Dinitro-1-phenoxybenzene

The title compound, C12H8N2O5, was obtained by the reaction of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and phenol in the presence of potassium carbonate. The nitro-substituted benzene ring lies on a mirror plane, with one NO2 group in the same plane and the other disordered across this plane. The phenoxybenzene...

Description
Summary:The title compound, C12H8N2O5, was obtained by the reaction of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and phenol in the presence of potassium carbonate. The nitro-substituted benzene ring lies on a mirror plane, with one NO2 group in the same plane and the other disordered across this plane. The phenoxybenzene unit is placed perpendicular to this mirror, resulting in an exact orthogonal relationship between the phenyl and benzene rings in the molecule. The crystal packing exhibits no significantly short intermolecular contacts.
