Abstract: Molecules of N-(3-nitrophenyl)phthalimide, C₁₄H₈N₂O₄, are linked into a three-dimensional framework by four distinct C-HO hydrogen bonds [HO = 2.35-2.58 Å, CO = 3.105 (5)-3.432 (5) Å and C-HO = 128-167°]. Molecules of N-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)phthalimide, C₁₄H₇N₃O₆, lie across twofold rotation axes in space group P2/n and are linked by a single C-HO hydrogen bond [HO = 2.58 Å, CO = 3.410 (2) Å and C-HO = 147°] into chains of rings. These chains are weakly linked into sheets by intermolecular interactions involving short dipolar ON and OC contacts.

Formula: C₁₄H₈N₂O₄ and C₁₄H₇N₃O₆
