In the title compound, 2C14H8N4O6·CH2Cl2, the dichloromethane solvent molecule resides on a crystallographic twofold axis. The mean plane of the phthalisoimide ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 32.93 (12)° with respect to the nitro-substituted benzene ring. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal packing features a short Cl⋯O halogen-bond interaction [3.093 (3) Å].

2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (1.51 g, 7.65 mmol), dichloromethane (20 ml) and triethylamine (1 ml, 7.20 mmol) were taken in a 100 ml round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar. Phthalolyl chloride (0.5 ml, 2.46 mmol) was added to the stirred reaction mixture in a dropwise manner. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h and the precipitate obtained were filtered. The filtrate was added to 50 ml water. The organic layer was separated and washed thrice with 50 ml portion of 10% NaHCO3 solution followed by water. Organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and kept overnight to yield light yellowish red crystals of the title compound as the side product of the reaction. Melting point 94–95°C.

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 F^2^ against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F^2^, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F^2^. The threshold expression of F^2^ > σ(F^2^) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F^2^ are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Heterocyclic compounds are useful for their ion binding, medicinal and insecticidal properties. The title compound was synthesized as a side product in an effort directed towards development of colorimetric anion sensors and its crystal structure is reported here. The reaction involved treatment of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine with phthaloyl chloride in presence of triethylamine as a base. There are only a few reports on the preparation of hydrazone derivatives of phthalic anhydride in the literature (Chen et al., 1990). The asymmetric unit (Fig. 1) consists of the title compound solvated with half a molecule of dichloromethane which lies on the crystallographic 2-fold axis. The phthalisoimides aromatic ring is nearly coplanar with nitroaromatic ring with a dihedral angle of 32.93 (C23—C11—C17—C10). A intramolecular hydrogen bond O3···H6 is also present in the title compound (Table 1). The crystal packing is stabilized by short Cl···.O halogen bond interaction (Fig 2) as reported in the literature (Gonnade et al., 2008), (Pedireddi et al., 1992), Metrangalo et al., 2007).
