title: Fluazinam.
abstract: In the asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: 3-chloro-N-[3-chloro-5-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)pyridin-2-yl]-2,6-di-nitro-4-(tri-fluoro-methyl)-aniline}, C13H4Cl2F6N4O4, which is the fungicide fluazinam, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene ring planes is 42.20 (4)°. In the crystal, pairs of N-H⋯F hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into inversion dimers which are linked by C-Cl⋯π [Cl⋯ring centroid = 3.3618 (4) A °] and N-O⋯π [O⋯ring centroid = 3.1885 (16) Å] inter-actions into chains along [100]. In addition, short Cl⋯Cl, O⋯Cl, and F⋯F contacts [3.4676 (7), 3.2371 (13) and 2.7910 (15) Å] are present which connect the chains, yielding a three-dimensional network.
