organic compounds
The title compound, methyl 2-nitrophenyl ketone, C8H7NO3, crystallizes as a nearly planar molecule. Layers parallel to the (02) plane are stabilized by intermolecular C-HO contacts. The molecular geometry is very similar to that of para-nitroacetophenone but some bond lengths of the aromatic ring are significantly different. The molecular geometry agrees well with a recent room-temperature structure determination.
