(E)-3-Methoxy­acetophenone 2,4,6-trinitro­phenyl­hydrazone

Crystals of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₃N₅O₇, were obtained by a condensation reaction of 3-methoxy­acetophenone and 2,4,6-trinitro­phenyl­hydrazine. The mol­ecule adopts an E configuration about the C8=N5 bond. π-π stacking is observed between the methoxy­phen­yl and trinitro­phen­yl rings of neighbouring mol­ecules.
