Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₄N₂O₂, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 24.52 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the nitro group and its parent benzene ring is 9.22 (16)°. In the crystal, molecules interact through aromatic - stacking interactions [centroid-centroid separations = 3.8158 (14) and 3.9139 (14) Å].
