(E)-4-Hydroxy-N'-(4-nitrobenzylidene)benzohydrazide

C.-M. Li and H.-Y. Ban

Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁N₃O₄, is approximately planar, the dihedral angle between the planes of the two substituted benzene rings being 2.54 (7)°. The molecule exists in a trans configuration with respect to the central methylidene unit. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular O-HO, N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (101). The O/N-HO and C-HO interactions form a pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds involving the cabonyl/nitro O atom, generating an R₂¹(6) motif.
