title: 1-Iodo-4-meth-oxy-2-nitro-benzene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(7)H(6)INO(3), the 12 non-H atoms are planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.016 Å. A close intra-molecular I⋯O inter-action [3.0295 (13) Å] is present. Inter-molecular I⋯O inter-actions [3.3448 (13) Å] lead to the formation of zigzag chains along the b axis. These are assembled into layers by weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8416 (9) Å], and the layers stack along the a axis, being connected by C-H⋯O contacts.
