Abstract
In the molecule of the title compound, C(6)H(3)ClINO(2), the nitro group is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.506 (6) and 0.494 (6). The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the two disordered components of the nitro group are 29.0 (2) and 51.0 (3)degrees. The disordering avoids short O center dot center dot center dot O intermolecular contacts in the crystal.
