Abstract

In the title compound, N-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-nitrobenzylideneamine, C14H12N2O3, the two phenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 48.0 (2)° and the nitro group is at an angle of 6.5 (1)° with respect to its attached phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, molecules are related as centrosymmetric pairs through π–π interactions and are further connected through strong C— H⋯ O hydrogen bonds [C⋯ O 3.4259 (17) Å and C—H⋯ O 167°], forming molecular stacks ...
