In the title compound, the herbicide bifenox, C14H9Cl2NO5, the dihedral angle between the dichlorobenzene and nitrobenzene rings is 78.79 (14)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds give rise to a three-dimensional network structure in which there are both a π–π interaction [ring centroid separation = 3.6212 (16) Å] and a C—Cl⋯π interaction [Cl⋯ring centroid = 3.4754 (8) Å]. In addition, short Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.3767 (11) and 3.3946 (11) Å] are present.

The title compound was purchased from Wako Pure Chemicals. Slow evaporation of a solution in CH2Cl2 gave single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for Csp2—H and d(C—H) = 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 groups.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound bifenox, C14H9Cl2NO5, is commonly used as a photobleaching herbicide for the control of many types of weeds (Jinno et al., 1999; O'Neil, 2001) and its crystal structure is reported herein. In this compound (Fig. 1), the dihedral angle between the dichlorophenyl ring and the nitrobenzene ring is 78.79 (14)°. All bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable to those observed in a similar phenoxy herbicide structure, methyl 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]propionate (diclofop methyl) (Smith et al., 1981).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1), giving a three-dimensional network structure (Fig. 2). In this structure there are both a π–π interaction between the dichlorophenyl rings [ring centroid separation = 3.6212 (16) Å] and a C3—Cl2···π interaction with the nitrobenzene ring [Cl2···Cgiv = 3.4754 (8) Å]. In addition, short Cl···Cl contacts [Cl1···Cl1v, 3.3767 (11) Å and Cl2···Cl2iv3.3946 (11) Å] are present [for symmetry codes: (iv), -x+2, -y, -z+1 and (v), -x+3, -y, -z+2].
