The title compound was synthesized and purified, according to the method described by Xu et al. (2002), by the reaction of 1-nitro-2,3-phenylenediamine and 2,2'-pyridil (yield 80%). The spectral and elemental analysis data are satisfactory. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 7.24–7.30 (m, 2H), 7.85–7.90 (m, 3H), 8.00 (d, 1H, J = 8.0 Hz), 8.22 (t, 2H, J = 6.8 Hz), 8.28 (d, 1H, J = 8.0 Hz), 8.39 (d, 1H, J = 4.0 Hz), 8.43 (d, 1H, J = 8.8 Hz). Analysis calculated for C36H22N10O4: C 65.64, H 3.37, N 18.23%. Found: C 65.55, H 3.64, N 18.26%. Light-yellow cubic single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallized from hot C2H5OH solution.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions and included in the final refinement in a riding model approximation, with displacement parameters derived from the parent C atoms.

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. |

Polypyridyl bridging ligands have attracted much attention as building blocks for supramolecular assemblies in recent years (Leininger et al., 2000; Bu et al., 2001). Some of the polypyridyl compounds have also been actively studied, such as 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline and its derivatives which represent an important class of chelating agents, because of the potential functionality of their metal complexes as molecular devices and DNA probes (Holmlin & Barton 1995; Balzani et al., 1998a; Balzani et al., 1998b). In our efforts to systematically investigate the syntheses, molecular structures and coordination chemistry of such compounds, we have reported the crystal structures of 5,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-2,3-pyrazine-dicarbonitrile (Du et al., 2001), and? the so-called proton-sponge compounds 2,3-di-2-pyridinio-5,8-dimethoxyquinoxaline dinitrate (Liu et al., 2001) and 2,3-di-2-pyridinio-5-nitroquinoxaline diperchlorate (Xu et al., 2002). In this contribution, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), namely 2,3-di-2-pyridyl-5-nitroquinoxaline.
Compound (I) consists of a quinoxaline ring substituted with two pyridyl rings and a nitro group. Theoretically, such compounds have the potential to generate three possible configurations under appropriate conditions (referring to the relation of the pyridyl N atoms to the central quinoxaline ring) as depicted in Fig. 1, viz. cis–cis, cis–trans and trans–trans. The crystal structure of the title compound contains two symmetry-independent molecules, A and B, that have the same composition. Note that the two molecules have the unexpected cis–cis conformational arrangement of the pyridyl rings (Figs. 2a and 2 b); the favored orientation of the pyridyl rings is such that their N atoms face one another. We have recently reported a novel box-like dinuclear AgI complex of the title compound (I), in which (I) takes the cis–trans configuration (Liu & Du, 2002), that is, the configuration of (I) is spontaneously converted when coordinated to an AgI center. In addition, in the crystal structure of the N-protonated perchlorate of the title compound (Xu et al., 2002), the unexpected trans–trans configuration is observed.
In the structure of (I), two pyridyl rings within the same molecule are not coplanar with one another or with the quinoxaline ring due to steric hindrance between the pyridyl ring H atoms. The dihedral angles of the pyridyl rings are 60.3 (4) and 110.1 (4)° in the two independent molecules, respectively. The Npy···Npy separation is 3.048 (3) Å for molecule A and 3.191 (5) Å for molecule B. In fact, the existence of the adjacent pyridine substituents causes a substantial out-of-plane twist, even in the quinoxaline rings [C11A—C2A—C3A—C16A = 21.5 (3)° and C11B—C2B—C3B—C16B = −19.9 (3)°]. In the quinoxaline rings, the mean deviations from the best-fit planes describing the rings are 0.0697 (3) and 0.0572 (4) Å for molecules A and B, respectively. The quinoxaline rings make dihedral angles with the two pyridyl rings of 36.8 (2) and 39.8 (4)° in molecule A, and 146.1 (4) and 54.3 (3)° in molecule B. The N2A—C3A, N1A—C2A, N2B—C3B and N1B—C2B bond distances (mean 1.316 Å) are noticeably shorter than the N2A—C4A, N1A—C9A, N2B—C4B and N1B—C9B distances (mean 1.369 Å), which is typical for the structural geometry of the quinoxaline system (Rasmussen et al., 1990). All N—C bond lengths are well within the range of values normally considered standard for C—N single (1.47 Å) and C=N double bonds (1.28 Å).
There exists a single directed intermolecular C18A—H18A···N4Bi(i = −x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1) weak interaction [C···N = 3.462 (4) Å and C18A—H18A···N4Bi = 167.2°], which links molecule A and an adjacent centrosymmetrically related molecule B' to form a dimer (Table 2). Furthermore, the neighboring B molecules in the structure show a substantial π–π-stacking interaction (as depicted in Fig. 3), which further stabilizes the crystal structure. The closest approach between the quinoxaline systems is 3.4 Å, with the molecular stack stretching along the a direction. Examination of the structure with PLATON (Spek, 2003) showed that there were no solvent-accessible voids in the crystal lattice of (I).
