title: {5-Chloro-2-[(4-nitro-benzyl-idene)amino]-phen-yl}(phen-yl)methanone.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C(20)H(13)ClN(2)O(3), assumes an E configuration about the C=N bond. The aromatic rings of the nitro-benzene and chloro-benzene groups are twisted by 13.89 (13)° and form dihedral angles of 76.38 (13) and 84.64 (13)°, respectively, with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains parallel to the b axis by C-H⋯π inter-actions.
