(Z)-3-(9-Anthr­yl)-1-(4-bromo­phen­yl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title mol­ecule, C(26)H(16)BrN(3)O(3), the anthracene and benzene mean planes make dihedral angles of 63.79 (2) and 14.67 (2)°, respectively, with the plane of the imidazole ring. In the crystal structure, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules to form centrosymmetric dimers. Weak π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.779 (2) and 3.826 (2) Å, supply additional stabilization. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter­molecular contacts between the nitro groups and Br atoms [Br⋯O = 3.114 (2) Å].
