Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₄, were obtained from a condensation reaction of acetophenone and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The molecule exhibits a planar structure, with the p-nitro group slightly inclined to the plane. A delocalized double bond is observed in the hydrazone moiety. The separation distances, 3.404  (2) and 3.416  (4)  Å, between adjacent parallel phenyl rings indicate - aromatic stacking interactions.
