Bilayers in 4-iodo-N-(2-iodo-4-nitrophenyl)benzamide generated by a combination of an N-H...O=C hydrogen bond and two independent iodo-nitro interactions.
Molecules of the title compound, C(13)H(8)I(2)N(2)O(3), are linked into C(4) chains by a single N-H...O=C hydrogen bond [H...O = 2.10 A, N...O = 2.832 (5) A and N-H...O = 140 degrees ]. Two independent two-centre iodo-nitro interactions, both involving the same O atom but different I atoms [I...O = 3.205 (3) and 3.400 (3) A, and C-I...O = 160.4 (2) and 155.7 (2) degrees ], link the hydrogen-bonded chains into bilayers.
