Hydrogen-bonded chains in N-(2-nitrophenyl)phenylamine.
Molecules of the title compound, C(12)H(10)N(2)O(2), are markedly non-planar. There is an intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond, and the molecules are linked into zigzag chains by a single C-H...O hydrogen bond. Comparisons are made with the supramolecular aggregation in isomeric amino-nitro derivatives, and in some N-methylnitroanilines.
