The title compound, C14H9F3N2O5, was synthesized as a crystalline intermediate in the synthetic route to the diiodo compound which is a potential thyroid-hormone analog. Although all the bond distances and angles have normal values in the crystal structure, there was non-coplanarity of the nitro groups [dihedral angles between the phenyl group and N(1), O(1), O(2) and N(2), O(3), O(4) are 21.5 and 60.3 degrees, respectively] and significant asymmetry in the bond angles at the pivotal atom, C(4), of the dinitrophenyl ring. The interplanar angle between the phenyl rings is 80.2 degrees. Energy-refined structures for the dinitro and diiodo compounds gave interplanar angles of 80.05 and 79.65 degrees, respectively. The skewed or twist-skewed conformation seen in thyroid hormones is reasonably well preserved in these model systems.
