2-(2-Nitrophenyl)acetohydrazide

Abstract

In the title compound, C8H9N3O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the acetohydrazide C—C(=O)—N—N plane [maximum deviation = 0.0471 (13) Å] is 87.62 (8)°. The nitro group is twisted by 19.3 (2)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a double-column structure along the b axis.
