In the title compound, C13H9N3O5, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central amide fragment C—N—C(=O)—C [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0442 Å] forms dihedral angles of 71.76 (6) and 24.29 (10)° with the C-bonded and N-bonded benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming C(4) chains along [100]. Weak C—H⋯O contacts link the molecules into (100) sheets containing edge-fused R44(30) rings. Together, the N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.
Keywords: crystal structure; benzamide; anticonvulsant properties; antimicrobial properties; inhibitors of diverse enzymes; hydrogen bonding.

A mass of 0.200 g (1.197 mmol) of 2-nitrobenzoic acid was refluxed with 2 ml of thionyl chloride for one hour. Then an equimolar amount of 2-nitroaniline was added and dissolved in 10 ml of acetonitrile and it was placed under reflux and constant stirring for 3 hours. Subsequently, the final solvent was slowly evaporated to obtain yellow needles of the title compound. [m.p. 431 (1)K].
All H-atoms were positioned in geometrically idealized positions, C—H = 0.95 Å, and were refined using a riding-model approximation with Uiso(H) constrained to 1.2 times Ueq of the respective parent atom. H1N atom was found from the Fourier maps and its coordinates were refined freely.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 crystal structure determination of 2-nitro-N-(2-nitrophenyl)benzamide (I), is part of a study on phenylbenzamides carried out in our research group, and it was synthesized from the reaction between of 2-nitrobenzoic acid and 2-nitroaniline mediated by the presence of thionyl chloride. Benzanilides are versatile intermediate towards a diversity of heterocyclic compounds. Benzanilide systems as ameltolid, very similar to the molecule under study, have different properties ranging from anticonvulsant (Leander, 1992); antimicrobial drug (suramin) or as treatment in patients with prostate carcinoma (Alhes et al., 2004); as inhibitor of tyrosine-kinase, (imatinib) (Goldman et al., 2003) or a selective inhibitor of BCR-ABL, (nilotinib) (Weisberg et al., 2006). Similar compounds to (I) have been reported in the literature: N-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide (II) (Sun et al., 2009), N-(2-Nitrophenyl)benzamide (III) (Saed & Simpson, 2009) and 4-Bromo-N-(2-nitrophenyl)benzamide (IV) (Moreno-Fuquen et al., 2014). The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The central amide moiety, C8—N1-C7(═O1)—C1, is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0442 Å) and it forms dihedral angles of 71.76 (6)° with the C1-C6 and 24.29 (10)° with the C8-C13 rings respectively. Bond lengths and bond angles in the molecule are in a good agreement with those found in the related compounds (II), (III) and (IV). A small lengthening of C7-N1 bond in (III) is observed [N1-C7= 1.3742 (11)Å], possibly caused by the formation of intramolecular S rings (6) in that structure. In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are linked by N-H···O hydrogen bonds of medium-strength and weak C-H···O intermolecular contacts (see Table 1). The N1-H1···O1 hydrogen bond interactions are responsible for crystal growth in [100]. In this interaction, the N-H in the molecule at (x,y,z) acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to O1 atom of the carbonyl group at (x-1/2,-y+3/2,-z+1). These interactions generate C(4) chains of molecules along [100]. Two C-H···O weak intermolecular contacts are further observed that run parallel to the bc plane in this structure (see Fig. 3). The group C5-H5 in the molecule at (x,y,z) acts as hydrogen bond donor to O5 atom of the nitro group in the molecule at (-x+3/2,-y+2,+z-1/2) and the C10-H10 group in the molecule at (x,y,z) acts as a hydrogen bond donor to O1 atom of the carbonyl group in the molecule at (-x+3/2,-y+1,+z-1/2). The combination of these interactions generate edge-fused R44(30) rings.
