M. Ramm et al., STRUCTURE OF 5,7-DINITRO-2,1,3-BENZOXADIAZOL-4-YL PHENYL DIKETONE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 49, 1993, pp. 1779-1781
In comparison to previous results, the bond lengths C(1)-C(2) and C(1)
-C(6) (IUPAC numbering: C4-3a, C4-C5) in the title compound are signif
icantly shortened. The endocyclic angle C(3)-C(4)-C(5) (IUPAC numberin
g: C7a-C7-C6) is, in contrast to those in nitro-substituted benzene ri
ngs, smaller than 120-degrees. A polymethinic structure of the dinitro
benzofurazan fragment is assumed. Stacking between the phenyl and fura
zan rings indicates weak pi-electron interactions.
