title: 4-Chloro-N'-[(3Z)-2-oxo-2,3-di-hydro-1H-indol-3-yl-idene]benzohydrazide.
abstract: In the title compound, C15H10ClN3O2, the benzene ring is slightly twisted out of the plane of the 2,3-di-hydro-1H-indole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å), forming a dihedral angle of 7.4 (3)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers alternately perpendicular to [011] and [0-11].
