2-(Naphthalen-2-yl-oxy)-5-nitro-pyridine.
A nearly orthogonal relationship is found for the ring systems in the title compound, C(15)H(10)N(2)O(3), with the dihedral angle between the rings being 86.13 (11)°. The nitro group is approximately coplanar with the pyridine ring to which it is connected [the O-N-C-C torsion angle = -1.8 (4)°]. This coplanarity allows for the close approach of these residues in the crystal structure enabling the formation of N-O⋯π(pyridine) inter-actions [3.547 (4) Å]. Further consolidation of the crystal packing is afforded by weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.9576 (16) and 3.9822 (16) Å].
