6-Nitro-1,3-benzoxazole-2(3H)-thione

In the title compound, C7H4N2O3S, the dihedral angle between the fused ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) and the nitro group at the 6-position is 7.3 (2)°. In the crystal, bifurcated N—H...(O,O) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into [010] chains. The chains are cross-linked by π–π stacking interactions to form (001) sheets.
