In the crystal structure of the title compound, C13H11N3O8S2, molecules are linked by intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains running parallel to the c axis. Centrosymmetrically related chains are further stabilized by aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.749 (3) Å] involving adjacent 4-nitrobenzene rings. Intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds are also present.
