The title compound, C20H16N4O4, contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. Intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs in both molecules. The dihedral angles between the nitro-substituted benzene rings and the two benzene rings in mol­ecules A and B are 14.32 (9), 17.89 (9)° and 13.04 (9) and 25.71 (9)°. The ortho and para nitro groups form dihedral angles of 6.2 (2) and 8.5 (2)° in mol­ecule A, and 5.3 (3) and 13.8 (2)° in mol­ecule B, with the benzene rings to which they are attached. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Comment top

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazones play a more important role as stabilizers for the detection, characterization and protection of the 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 was reported here.

The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles in the title compound (Fig. 1) have normal values and are comparable to the related structures (Fun et al. 2009; Kia et al. 2009). Intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs (Bernstein et al.,1995). The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings and the nitro-substituted benzene rings in molecules A and B are 14.32 (9), 17.89 (9), 13.04 (9), and 25.71 (9)°, respectively. The ortho and para-substituted nitro groups form dihedral angles of 6.2 (2), 8.5 (2)° in molecule A and 5.3 (3) and 13.8 (2)° in molecule B, to the benzene rings to which they are attached. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Table 1 and Fig.2 ).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized based on the reported procedure (Okabe et al. 1993) except that p-phenyl-acetophenone (1 mmol) was used instead. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were grown by slow evaporation of a saturated solution of the resulted compound in acetone.

Refinement top

N-bound H atom was located from the difference Fourier map and refined freely; see, Table 1. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained with a riding model approximation with C—H = 0.95–0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cyrosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1)K.

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.
