Crystal structure of 8-eth-oxy-3-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C17H13NO5, the coumarin ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å). The nitro-phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 25.27 (9)° with the coumarin ring plane. The nitro group is almost coplanar with the phenyl ring to which it is attached, making a dihedral angle of 4.3 (3)°. The eth-oxy group is inclined to the coumarin ring plane by 4.1 (2)°. Electron delocalization was found at the short bridging C-C bond with a bond length of 1.354 (2) Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets in the bc plane. The sheets are linked via π-π stacking [centroid-centroid distances = 3.5688 (13) and 3.7514 (13) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.
