Crystal structure of (2E)-2-meth-oxy-imino-2-{2-[(2-methyl-phen-oxy)meth-yl]phen-yl}-N'-(4-nitro-benzyl-idene)ethano-hydrazide.

The title compound, C24H22N4O5, crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 2) oriented almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle between the central core of each mol-ecule = 77.95 (3)°]. The two mol-ecules exhibit similar conformations with an extended structure. An intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs in each mol-ecule. The two mol-ecules are linked by a bifurcated N-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bond involving the NH group in mol-ecule A as donor. They are further linked into a ribbon along the a-axis direction by further bifurcated N-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bonds involving the NH group in mol-ecule B as donor. C-H⋯O inter-actions are also observed.
