Synthesis of title compound was carried out by stirring a mixture of benzylidene acetone (1.46 g, 0.01 mol) and 3-nitrobenzaldehyde (1.51 g, 0.01 mol) in 40 ml of ethanolic sodium hydroxide at 278–283 K for 3 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. The single crystal was grown from 1,4-dioxane by the slow evaporation method and yield of the compound was 80%. (M.pt. 414 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Chalcones are highly reactive substances of varied nature. They have been reported to possess many interesting pharmacological activities (Dhar, 1981) including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antitumor and anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999; Satyanarayana et al., 2004). Chalcones are also finding application as organic nonlinear optical materials (NLO) for their SHG conversion efficiency (Sarojini et al., 2006). The basic skeleton of chalcones which possess α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group is useful for the synthesis of various biodynamic cyclic derivatives such as pyrazoline, benzodiazepine, 2,4,6-triaryl pyridine, isoxazoline and cyclohexenone derivatives (Samshuddin et al., 2011a,b,c; Fun et al., 2010; Jasinski et al., 2010; Baktır et al., 2011).
The crystal structures of some bis-chalcones viz., 2,6-bis(4-methoxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone (Butcher et al., 2006a), 1,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (Butcher et al., 2006b), 1,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (Butcher et al., 2007a), 1,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (Butcher et al., 2007b), 2,5-bis(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)cyclopentanone (Butcher et al., 2007c), 1,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (Harrison et al., 2006), 2,4-dimethyl-1,5-diphenylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one (Hu et al., 2004) have been reported. In continuation of our work on synthesis of chalcone derivatives, the title compound (I) was prepared and its crystal structure is reported.
In the title molecule (I), (Fig. 1), bond lengths and angles are comparable to closely related structures (Patil et al., 2007; Zhao et al., 2007; Fischer et al., 2007; Butcher et al. (2006a,b, 2007a,b,c); Harrison et al. (2006); Hu et al. (2004). The least-squares plane through the C7–C11/O3 group makes dihedral angles of 8.22 (6) and 32.14 (6)° with the C1–C6 benzene ring and the C12–C17 phenyl ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between these rings is 31.21 (5)° and the nitro group at C3 lies close to the C1–C6 ring plane, with O1–N1–C3–C2 and O2–N1–C3–C4 torsion angles of 6.3 (3) and 7.4 (3)°, respectively.
The molecular packing of (I) shown in Fig. 2 is stabilized by C—H···O interactions (Table 1), which lead to the formation of a centrosymmetric dimer, and is further consolidated by C—H···π interactions (Table 1) involving the C12–C17 phenyl ring.
