(E)-2-(4-Nitro-benzyl-ideneamino)benzamide.

The title compound, C14H11N3O3, adopts an E conformation, with a dihedral angle of 41.8 (1) ° between the mean planes of the two benzene rings. One of the amino H atoms forms an intra­molecular hydrogen bond with the amide N atom, while the other H atom forms an inter­molecular hydrogen bond with the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent mol­ecule, forming dimers about inversion centers. A non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond also links adjacent mol­ecules into dimers.
