Packing Modes in Nitrobenzene Derivatives. II. The `Pseudo-Herringbone' Mode

Nitrobenzene derivatives pack in two main motifs: stacks [see André , Foces-Foces, Cano & Martinez-Ripoll (1997). Acta Cryst. B53, 984-995] and `pseudo- herringbone' together account for some 61.5% of the structures classified as BCLASS = 15 by the Cambridge Structural Database. Several geometrical parameters allow the classification of the `pseudo-herringbone' category into four main motifs. Weak interactions appear to play an important role in this packing mode.
