| Summary: | In the title molecule, C12H10N2O4, the pyridine and benzene rings are almost orthogonal [dihedral angle = 86.69 (11)°], with the pyridine N atom directed towards the centre of the benzene ring. The –NO2 [O—N—C—C = −26.1 (3)°] and –OMe [C—O—C—C = 166.5 (2)°] substituents are not coplanar with their respective aromatic rings. In the crystal, supramolecular layers in the ab plane are formed via C—H...π interactions involving methyl H atoms and the pyridine and benzene rings. Short N—O...π contacts (where the π-system is derived from the pyridine ring) occur between layers in the c-axis direction.
