(E)-1-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-2-[1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethylidene]hydrazine

Abstract

The title compound, C14H11N5O6, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 2,4-dinitro­phenyl­hydrazine and 2-nitro­acetophenone. The mol­ecule displays an E conformation about the C=N double bond and an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 7.84 (6)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6447 (8) Å] into a three-dimensional network.
