N-[(E)-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)methylene]aniline

M. Barys and Z. Ciunik

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₉N₃O₄, was obtained from the condensation reaction of 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde and aniline. It crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the aniline moiety, the C=N and C-N bond lengths are normal. The crystal packing reveals short contacts [3.374  (2)-3.632  (3)  Å] between the benzene rings of neighbouring molecules, suggesting the existence of - stacking effects.
