Crystal structure of 1-[(Z)-2-phenylhydrazin-1-ylidene]naphthalen-2(1H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene ring and naphthalenone ring system is 1.89 (8)°; an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs between the imino group and the carbonyl group. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H...π interactions into supramolecular chains propagating along the [01-1] direction.
