title: (E)-4-Amino-N'-(3-nitro-benzyl-idene)benzohydrazide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(14)H(12)N(4)O(3), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 7.6 (4)°. In the crystal, infinite sheets linked by N-H⋯O and bifurcated N-H⋯(O,N) hydrogen bonds propagate in the (10-1) plane, in which R(4) (4)(36) loops are apparent. Neighbouring layers may inter-act by way of very weak π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.9329 (13) and 4.0702 (13) Å].
