title: Methyl 4-chloro-3-nitro-benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(6)ClNO(4), the mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O inter-actions to form a chain parallel to the a axis. The chains are further connected by slipped π-π stacking between symmetry-related benzene rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.646 (2) Å and an inter-planar distance of 3.474 Å, resulting in an offset of 1.106 Å.
