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

The title compound, C(14)H(11)N(5)O(6), 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.
