4-Benzyl-1-(4-nitro­phen­yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole: crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis

The mol­ecule in the title compound, C(15)H(12)N(4)O(2), has a twisted L-shape with the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the N-bound benzene and C-bound benzyl groups being 70.60 (9)°. The nitro group is co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is connected [C—C—N—O torsion angle = 0.4 (3)°]. The three-dimensional packing is stabilized by a combination of methyl­ene-C—H⋯O(nitro), methyl­ene-C—H⋯π(phen­yl), phenyl-C—H⋯π(triazol­yl) and nitro-O⋯π(nitro­benzene) inter­actions, along with weak π(triazol­yl)–π(nitrobenzene) contacts [inter-centroid distance = 3.8386 (10) Å]. The importance of the specified inter­molecular contacts has been verified by an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface.
