2,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dinitro­benzene

The title compound, C8H8N2O4, was prepared via the nitration of p-xylene. The mol­ecules are stacked along the c axis in an antiparallel manner. The two nitro groups are rotated relative to the benzene ring with dihedral angles of 44.50 (7) and 31.67 (8)°. The tilt of the nitro groups allows the for...
