title: 1-(2-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-{[2-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)hydrazinyl-idene](nitro)-meth-yl}diazene.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(15)N(5)O(4), a nitro-formazan derivative, the formazan unit is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0204 (6) Å and adopts a closed syn,s-cis configuration with an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond. The formazan plane makes dihedral angles of 4.32 (5) and 24.35 (5)° with the benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the formazan plane and the nitro group is 12.58 (8)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions connect the mol-ecules into an inversion dimer.
