The title compound was obtained from the condensation reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The essential part (including all the non-hydrogen atoms except two methyl carbons) of the molecule lies on a mirror plane, which bisects the t-butyl groups.

The title compound was synthesized as a derivative of heptazethrene bearing two methyl and two tert-butylphenyl substituents, respectively, at the 1,9- and 7,15-positions. Albeit remotely located, the substituents contort the heptazethrene plane. The phenyl substituents stand approximately perpendicular to the core plane and prevent direct intermolecular contacts of the heptazethrene cores.

Two mixed-valence compounds have been isolated from copper-cyanide-meen systems, Cu4(CN)5meen2 and Cu2(CN)3meen2·H2O, where meen is N-methylethylenediamine. The former crystallizes as a polymer, in which CuIImeen2 moieties are covalently linked via cyanide bridges to a three-dimensional CuI cyanide-bridged array, while the latter is a binuclear monomer.

Molecules form columns in which the methyl groups are oriented in opposite directions layer-by-layer along cell axis a. In the molecule, the hydroxyl substituent is bound intramolecularly to the aldehyde group at the ortho position.

The title compound has been crystallized in liquid ammonia as a reaction product of the reductive ammonolysis of the natural compound streptozocin. Elemental rubidium was used as reduction agent as it is soluble in liquid ammonia, forming a blue solution.

The molecule of 5-nitroisatin-3-phenylhydrazone deviates slightly from a planar geometry. In the crystal, molecules are linked by hydrogen bonding into a two-dimensional polymer along (120), forming rings of graph-set motifs (8), (26), (32) and S(6). In addition, molecules are stacked along the [100] through C=O⋯Cg interactions, as suggested by the Hirshfeld surface, which also indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal structure cohesion are O⋯H (28.5%) and H⋯H (26.7%) interactions. An in silico evaluation of the title compound with the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme was performed and N—H⋯O and Cg⋯Cg interactions were found.
