Fun, H.-K.Arshad, S.Chandrakantha, B.Isloor, A.M.Shetty, P.2020-03-312020-03-312011Acta Crystallographica Section E: Structure Reports Online, 2011, Vol.67, 7, pp.-10.1107/S1600536811023683https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/9970The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C 5H 2C l2N 2O 2, consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. The pyridine ring in each mol-ecule is essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.004 (4) and 0.007 (4) . Short Cl?O [3.09 (3) and 3.13 (4) ] and Cl?Cl [3.38 (12) ] contacts were observed. No significant inter-molecular inter-actions were observed in the crystal packing. Fun et al. 2011.2,6-Dichloro-3-nitro-pyridineArticle
