2-Iodo-N-(4-nitrophenyl)benzamide forms hydrogen-bonded sheets of R4(4)(24) rings.
Molecules of the title compound, C13H9IN2O3, are linked into C4 chains by an N-H...O=C hydrogen bond, and these chains are linked into sheets of R4(4)(24) rings by means of a C-H...O-N hydrogen bond. However, C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds, and pi-pi stacking and iodo-nitro interactions are all absent.
