title: 1,2-Bis[(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methyl-idene]hydrazine.
abstract: The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O(4), is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The (1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)methyl-idene fused-ring system is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å) and is essentially coplanar with the central hydrazine group [dihedral angle = 5.08 (9)°]. Weak π-π inter-molecular inter-actions are observed [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8553 (8) Å], providing some packing stability.
