Since the nitro group is a powerful deactivating substituent, Friedel-Crafts acylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

Because nitro benzene is highly deactivating group.It reduces electron rich cloud of benzene and hence the incoming electrophile of friedal reaction do not react with nitrobenzene.
