(E)-Benzaldehyde (2,4,6-trichloro­phen­yl)hydrazone

The title compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(3)N(2), was obtained from a condensation reaction of benzaldehyde and 2,4,6-trichloro­phenyl­hydrazine. The mol­ecule assumes an E configuration with the phenyl ring and trichloro­phenyl ring located on opposite sides of the C=N bond. The phenyl ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 42.58 (12)° with respect to the tricholorophenyl ring. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming supra­molecular chains running along the c axis. π–π stacking is present between parallel trichloro­phenyl rings of adjacent mol­ecules, the face-to-face and centroid–centroid distances being 3.369 (14) and 3.724 (2) Å, respectively.
