(E)-1-(2,4-Dinitro­phen­yl)-2-[1-(3-fluoro­phen­yl)ethyl­idene]hydrazine

The mol­ecule of the title hydrazone derivative, C(14)H(11)FN(4)O(4), is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle between the benzene rings of 3.71 (7)°. The central ethyl­idenehydrazine N—N=C—C plane makes dihedral angles of 5.32 (10) and 9.02 (10)° with the 2,4-dinitro- and 3-fluoro-substituted benzene rings, respectively. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions into a sheet parallel to (10-1). The mol­ecules are further stacked along the a axis by π–π inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6314 (9) and 3.7567 (10) Å. A C⋯F short contact [2.842 (3) Å] is observed. The 3-fluoro­phenyl group is disordered over two orientations with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.636 (3):0.364 (3).
