title: 2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 2-nitro-benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(13)H(12)N(4)O(6), the mean plane through the nitro-benzene forms a dihedral angle of 37.38 (15)° with the plane through the imidazole ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions together with π-π stacking inter-actions between nitro-benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.788 (3) Å] and between imidazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.590 (2) Å].
