Hydrogen bonding in C-substituted nitroanilines: a chain of R3 3(12)rings in 2-methanesulfonyl-4-nitroaniline.
The title compound, C(7)H(8)N(2)O(4)S, exhibits a markedly polarized molecular-electronic structure. The molecules are linked into a chain of edge-fused R(3)(3)(12) rings by two N-H...O[double bond]S hydrogen bonds [H...O = 2.10 and 2.21 A, N...O = 2.900 (2) and 2.878 (2) A, and N-H...O = 152 and 133 degrees ].
