The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal adduct, C6H4O2·C6F4I2, comprises a half-molecule each of cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene. The C6F4I2 molecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0062 Å). In the crystal, the components are connected through OI halogen bonds [3.017 (11) Å], leading to the formation of wavelike chains along the a axis. The crystal packing also features C—HF interactions.

In the title compound (systematic name: 1,3-diiodo-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene), C7H5I2NO3, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the nitro group is 88.0 (3)°, and the methyl group lies almost in the same plane as the ring [deviation = 0.034 (6) Å]. In the crystal, aromatic π–π stacking occurs between inversion-related rings [centroid–centroid separation = 3.865 (3) Å and slippage = 0.642 Å]. A possible weak C—Iπ interaction occurs [Iπ = 3.701 (2) Å and C—Iπ = 130.18 (13)°], but there are no significant intermolecular II contacts.
