Crystal structure of (E)-1-(2-nitrobenzylidene)-2,2-diphenylhydrazine

Abstract

The title compound, C19H15N3O2, shows an E conformation of the imine bond. The dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl rings in the diphenylhydrazine groups is 88.52 (4)°. The 2-nitrobenzene ring shows a torsion angle of 10.17 (8)° with the C=N—N plane. A short intramolecular C—H...O contact occurs. In the crystal, only van der Waals contacts occur between the molecules.
