title: (E)-2-[2-(2-Nitro-phen-yl)ethen-yl]-8-quinolyl acetate.
abstract: The title compound, C(19)H(14)N(2)O(4), crystallizes with two molecules with very similar conformations in the asymmetric unit; the angles between the two ring systems are 8.7 (1) and 4.2 (1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance 3.973 (1) Å] lead to a three-dimensional network.
