Abstract top

The title molecule, C14H10N4O6, crystallizes with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit; the mid-point of the N-N bond lies on an inversion centre. The nitro and amide groups are twisted with respect to the benzene ring, making dihedral angles of 14.6 (5) and 31.1 (5)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through N-H...O hydrogen bonding between the imino and carbonyl groups.

Comment top

Hydrazides have been demonstrated to possess excellent biological activities (Cui et al., 2007; Li & Ban, 2009). Recently a great deal of hydrazides have been synthesized and characterized (Shang et al., 2005a,b; Zhang et al., 2009; Li & Ban, 2009). We also are interested in this field of research, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The molecular structure of the title compound has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry located in the middle of the N—N bond (Fig. 1). One intermolecular hydrogen bond N—H···O is observed in the crystal structure (Table 1).

Experimental top

4-Nitrobenzohydrazide (0.371 g, 2.0 mmol) and 20 ml chloroform were introduced into a round-bottomed flask at 281 K and stirred. 4-Nitrobenzoyl chloride (0.362 g, 2.0 mmol) was added to the mixture, which was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. A colourless solid product was filtered, and washed three times with ethyl ether. Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray structural determination was obtained by slow evaporation a methanol solution in air.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 and N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C,N).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
