4-[1-(Hydroxyimino)ethyl]-N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)aniline

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H13N3O3, the dihedral angle formed by the two benzene rings is 44.23 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by aromatic π–π stacking interactions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.825 (3) and 3.870 (4) Å between the aniline and the nitrobenzene rings of neighbouring molecules, respectively. In addition, the stacked molecules exhibit intermolecular C—H...N and C—H...O interactions.
