(E)-N-(Anthracen-9-yl-methyl-idene)-4-nitro-aniline.

ABSTRACT: In the title molecule, C(21)H(14)N(2)O(2), the anthracenyl system is approximately planar [maximum deviation = 0.056 (4) Å] and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 73.6 (1)° with respect to the benzene ring. An intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.688 (2), 3.656 (1) and 3.716 (2) Å].
