Crystal structure of 2-nitro-N-(5-nitro-1,3-thia-zol-2-yl)benzamide.

In the title compound, C10H6N4O5S, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central amide fragment C-N-C(=O)-C [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0294 Å] forms dihedral angles of 12.48 (7) and 46.66 (9)° with the planes of the thia-zole and benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001]. In addition, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these chains, forming a two-dimensional network, containing R (4) 4(28) ring motifs parallel to (100).
