title: Crystal structure of triethyl 2-(5-nitro-2H-indazol-2-yl)propane-1,2,3-tri-carboxyl-ate.
abstract: In the title compound, C19H23N3O8, the 5-nitro-2H-indazol-2-yl unit is almost planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.024 (2) Å. The fused-ring system is nearly perpendicular to the three carboxyl-ate groups, with dihedral angles of 90.0 (3), 83.8 (1) and 80.4 (1)°. The ethyl groups attached to both ends of the propane chain are each disordered over two sets of sites, with site-occupancy ratios of 0.425 (17):0.575 (17) and 0.302 (15):0.698 (15). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
