Abstract:
The title compound, C(10)H(8)N(2)O(3), has been prepared by condensation of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde and nitroacetonitrile in ethanol at room temperature. Its investigation has been undertaken as a part of search for new nonlinear optical compounds. The pi-conjugated molecule is almost planar. Molecules in the crystal are packed in stacks with antiparallel molecular orientation and slightly alternating distances between mean molecular planes.
