The structure of 3-benzyloxy-2-nitropyridine has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The X-ray crystallography results show that the nitro group is tilted out of the pyridine ring plane by 66.4(4)°, which is mainly attributed to the electron–electron repulsions of the lone pairs in O atom of the 3-benzyloxy moiety with O atom in nitro group. An interesting centrosymmetric π-stacking molecular pair has been found in the crystalline state, which results in the approximate coplanarity of the pyridine ring with the benzene ring. The calculated results show that the dihedral angle between the nitro group and pyridine ring from the X3LYP method is much closer to the experimental data than that from the M06-2X one. The existing two conformational isomers of 3-benzyloxy-2-nitropyridine with equal energy explain well the disorder of the nitro group at room temperature. In addition, the vibrational frequencies are also calculated by the X3LYP and M06-2X methods and compared with the experimental results. The prediction from the X3LYP method coincides with the locations of the experimental frequencies well.
