Abstract
The title compound, C13H10N2O4, crystallized as the zwitterionic tautomer. As a result, the phenolate C—O− bond [1.296 (2) Å] is shorter than a normal Csp 2—O(H) bond, and the azomethine C=N bond [1.314 (2) Å] is longer than a normal C=N double bond. The molecule is nearly planar, the mean plane of the nitro-substituted benzene ring forming dihedral angles of 9.83 (7) and 8.45 (9)° with the other benzene ring and with the nitro group, respectively. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into double-stranded chains along the b-axis direction. Within the chains there are π–π interactions involving the benzene rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.669 (1) Å]. The chains are linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R 2 1(6), R 2 1(7) and R 2 2(10) ring motifs.
