D. E. Lynch and I. McClenaghan

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₂N₂O₅, has been determined and is found to have an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenol group and one of the 6-nitro O atoms. The molecule packs in a zigzag hydrogen-bonded chain, consisting of an intermolecular hydrogen bond, parallel to the c axis, between the phenol group and a 4-nitro O atom. The dihedral angle between adjacent molecules in the chain is 82  (3)°.
