The title compound, C13H16N4O4, is a new hydrazone. An intramolecular N-H
O hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. The nitro groups in the ortho and para positions are almost coplanar with the benzene ring to which they are bound, making dihedral angles of 0.60 (11) and 3.18 (11)°, respectively. Pairs of intermolecular C-H
O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules into inversion dimers with R22(10) motifs. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular
-
interactions, with a benzene centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.6601 (4) Å.
