(4-Nitro-phen-yl)methanol.
In the crystal of the title compound, C(7)H(7)NO(3), mol-ecules associate into infinite chains via O-H⋯O(NO(2)) hydrogen bonds propagating in the [101] direction. These chains are linked via C-H⋯O(NO(2)) hydrogen bonds to form double-stranded ribbons lying parallel to the ac plane. The ribbons stack along the b axis by means of π-π inter-actions involving the benzene rings and the nitro group. The centroid-centroid distances of the alternating parallel aromatic rings are 3.6514 (7) and 3.8044 (7) Å.
