Abstract
In the title compound, C(9)H(7)N(3)O(3)S, the nitro and thiazolidinone moieties are inclined with respect to the aromatic ring at dihedral angles of 9.57 (16) and 78.42 (4)degrees, respectively. In the crystal, N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonding connects the molecules along the c and a axes to form a two-dimensional polymeric network. A weak S center dot center dot center dot O interaction [3.2443 (11) angstrom] and phenyl ring to phenyl ring off-set pi center dot center dot center dot pi stacking [with centroid-centroid separation of 3.6890 (7) angstrom and ring slippage of 1.479 angstrom] link the polymeric chains along the b and a axes, respectively.
