4-Iodo-2-methyl-5-nitroaniline exhibits neither strong hydrogen bonding nor intermolecular I...nitro interactions.

In the title compound, C(7)H(7)IN(2)O(2), the O atoms of the nitro group are disordered over two sets of sites and there is evidence that the intramolecular I...nitro interaction is repulsive. In the crystal structure, there are neither strong hydrogen bonds, nor intermolecular I...nitro interactions, nor aromatic pi-pi-stacking interactions.
