The structure of the stable modification of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde has been redetermined by means of neutron diffraction.Non-hydrogen atom parameters agree with values from the X-ray determination.The parameters of the hydrogen atoms are obtained.C-H • • • O interactions are discussed and it is concluded that the observed geometry of the molecule indicates the absence of an internal hydrogen bond in 2-nitrobenzaldehyde.
