In the title compound, C14H12N4O5, an intramolecular N—H⋯O 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 molecules are linked together by intermolecular C—H⋯O and intermolecular three-centred O⋯O [2.8646 (12)–2.9213 (11) Å] and O⋯N [3.0518 (11) Å] interactions. The is further stabilized by intermolecular π–π interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances 3.5708 (6)–3.9728 (12) Å].

The title compound was synthesized based on the reported procedure (Okabe et al. 1993) except that 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 136 mg) was used instead. Single crystals suitable for X-ray
were grown by slow evaporation of a of the resulted compound in ethanol.N-bound H atom was located from the difference Fourier map and refined freely. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl group.

Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Cyrosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazones play a more important role as stabilizers for the detection, characterization and protection of carbonyl groups than phenylhydrazones (Niknam et al., 2005). 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone derivatives are widely used in various forms of analytical chemistry (Lamberton et al., 1974; Zegota, 1999; Cordis et al., 1998; Zlotorzynska & Lai, 1999) and are also used as dyes (Guillaumont & Nakamura, 2000). They are also found to have versatile coordinating abilities towards different metal ions (Raj & Kurup, 2006). In addition, some phenylhydrazone derivatives have been shown to be potentially DNA-damaging and mutagenic agents (Okabe et al., 1993). For these reasons, the structure of the title compound is reported here.
Bond lengths in the title compound (Fig. 1) are normal (Allen et al., 1987). An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The molecule is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of -0.3464 (8) Å for atom O4 which is due to the intermolecular three-centered O···O and O···N interactions. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 4.63 (1)°. Interesting features of the crystal structure include intermolecular three-centered O2···O2i [2.8646 (12) Å; (i) 1 - x, 1 - y, -z], O4···O4iv [2.8646 (12) Å; (iv) code: -x, -y, -1 - z], and O4···N4ii [3.0518 (11) Å] interactions. The molecules are also linked by C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), and by intermolecular π–π interactions giving centroid–centroid distances for rings C1–C6 (Cg1) and C8–C13 (Cg2) of 3.5708 (6) Å and 3.9728 (12) Å [Cg1···Cg2v; (v) -x, -y, -z and Cg1···Cg2vi; (vi) 1 - x, -y, -z] (interplanar spacings are 3.3080 (4) and 3.3691 (4) Å respectively (Fig. 2).
