Why does nitrobenzene not undergo the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction?

Because the nitro group on nitrobenzene belongs to a strong passivation group, which has electron absorption induction and conjugation effects, and the density of the π electron cloud on the benzene ring decreases, the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction will not occur.
