The crystal structure of (E)-2-ethyl-N-(4-nitro­benzyl­idene)aniline: three-dimensional supra­molecular assembly mediated by C—H...O hydrogen bonds and nitro...π(arene) inter­actions

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C15H14N2O2, the 2-ethyl­phenyl group is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.515 (19) and 0.485 (19), and the dihedral angle between the two partial-occupancy aryl rings is 6(2)°. A combination of C—H...O hydrogen bonds and nitro...π(arene) inter­actions links the mol­ecules into a continuous three-dimensional framework structure.
