2-(3-Nitrophenoxy)Quinoxaline, Hairul Anuar Bin Tajuddin

Hairul Anuar Bin Tajuddin

In the title molecule, C(14)H(9)N(3)O(3), the dihedral angle between the quinoxaline and benzene rings is 77.13 (9)degrees. The molecule is twisted about the ether-benzene O-C bond, with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of -102.8 (2)degrees. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, forming layers in the ab plane, with one nitro O atom accepting two such interactions. The layers stack along the c-axis direction via weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
