Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₅, an intramolecular N-HO hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 3.91 (3)°, which shows the molecule is almost planar. The para-nitro group is twisted from the benzene ring to which it is attached, making a dihedral angle of 8.50 (9)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked together by intermolecular C-HO and intermolecular three-centred OO [2.8646 (12)-2.9213 (11) Å] and ON [3.0518 (11) Å] interactions. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular - interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances 3.5708 (6)-3.9728 (12) Å].
