2-(4-Methyl-phen-oxy)-5-nitro-pyridine.
The title mol-ecule, C(12)H(10)N(2)O(3), is twisted, the dihedral angle between the rings being 61.16 (13)°. The nitro group is approximately coplanar with the pyridine ring to which it is attached [O-N-C-C torsion angle = -178.1 (3)°]. Supra-molecular chains along [010] and mediated by C-H⋯O and π-π [centroid(pyrid-yl)-(benzene) distance = 3.8259 (18) Å] contacts feature in the crystal packing.
