4-Dimethylamino-N′-(4-nitrobenzylidene)benzohydrazide methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H16N4O3·CH3OH, the aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 0.4 (2)°. The nitro group is twisted from the attached benzene ring by 7.5 (2)°. In the crystal, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link alternating hydrazone and methanol molecules into chains in [100]. The crystal packing exhibits π–π interactions between aromatic rings from neighbouring chains [centroid–centroid distances = 3.734 (3) and 3.903 (3) Å].
