4-Methoxy-N-[(E)-(5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)-methylidene]aniline

Abstract

The title molecule, C12H10N2O 3S, is nonplanar with an interplanar angle of 33.44 (7)° between the benzene and thiophene rings. In the crystal there exist only weak intermolecular C - H·O interactions, ?-? interactions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7465 (14) Å] and X - Y·? interactions to the thiophene and benzene rings [N·centroid distances = 3.718 (3) and 3.355 (3) Å, respectively]. Intermolecular C - H·O interactions link the molecules into chains parallel to the a axis.
