Abstract
The steric effect of adjacent methyl and methoxyl groups and the electronic effect of para substituents on the rotation of the plane of an aromatic nitro group relative to the plane of the aromatic ring has been investigated by X-ray crystallography. An electron-donating substituent in the para position decreases the rotation whilst an electron-withdrawing substituent increases the rotation of the plane of the nitro group relative to the aromatic ring.
