Abstract
The title molecule, C14H11ClN4O4, is in an E configuration and is twisted with the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 38.48 (8)°. The ethylidenehydrazine plane makes dihedral angles of 6.03 (10) and 44.04 (11)°, respectively, with the dinitro- and chloro-substituted benzene rings. The two nitro groups are essentially coplanar with the bound benzene ring, making dihedral angles of 0.9 (2) and 1.65 (18)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a weak C—H⋯O interaction into a chain along the c axis. The chains are further stacked along the b axis by a π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6088 (10) Å.
