A re-examination of supramolecular aggregation in two polymorphs of acetone 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone.
The structure of the triclinic polymorph of acetone 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, C(9)H(10)N(4)O(4), has been redetermined from diffraction data collected at 120 (2) K; the molecules are linked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric R(2)(2)(10) dimers which are themselves linked into a chain by an aromatic pi-pi stacking interaction. In the monoclinic polymorph, which crystallizes with Z' = 2 in the space group P2(1)/n, one type of molecule forms dimers exactly as in the triclinic polymorph, while the other forms C(6) chains.
