title: Crystal structure of 1-nitro-4-(tri-methyl-silylethyn-yl)naphthalene.
abstract: In the title compound, C15H15NO2Si, the dihedral angle between the nitro group and the mean plane of the naphthalene system is 22.04 (11)°. In the crystal, π-π inter-actions generate supra-molecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction; the centroid-to-centroid distances range from 3.5590 (12) to 3.8535 (12) Å.
