Conformational preferences in 2-­nitrophenylthiolates: S-(2-nitro­phenyl) 4-toluenethiosulfonate

In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₁NO₄S₂, the nitro group is rotated by 44.1 (1)° out of the plane of the adjacent aryl ring and the toluene­thio­sulfonate group is almost orthogonal to the plane of the nitrated aryl ring. There are three types of C—H⋯O hydrogen bond in the structure [C⋯O range 3.324 (3)–3.503 (3) Å; C—H⋯O range 160–173°] and these link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional framework.
