2-Nitro-N-phenyl­benzene­sulfonamide

In the title compound, C(12)H(10)N(2)O(4)S, the conformation of the N—H bond in the –SO(2)—NH– fragment is syn to the ortho-nitro group in the sulfonyl­benzene ring. The mol­ecule is twisted at the S—N bond, the C—N—S—C torsion angle being −72.83 (15)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 59.55 (7)°. The amide H atom and the nitro group O atom form an intra­molecular hydrogen bond, generating an S(7) motif. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions link the mol­ecules into S (2) (2)(10) networks.
