Abstract:
In the title compound, C13H9N3O5, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central amide fragment C-N-C(=O)-C [r.m.s. deviation = 0.0442 Å] forms dihedral angles of 71.76 (6) and 24.29 (10)° with the C-bonded and N-bonded benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming C(4) chains along [100]. Weak C-H⋯O contacts link the mol-ecules into (100) sheets containing edge-fused R 4 (4)(30) rings. Together, the N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
