T = 123 K; mean (C-C) = 0.002 A ˚;R factor = 0.039; wR factor = 0.099; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.4.In the title furancarboxamide derivative, C 11 H 8 N 2 O 4 , the benzene and furan rings are rotated from the mean plane of the central fragment by 2.68 (5) and 7.03 (4) , respectively.The nitro group forms a dihedral angle of 10.15 (5) with the adjacent benzene ring.In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C-HÁ Á ÁO interactions, forming helical chains running along [010].
