Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H16N4O6, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B). The two benzene rings are twisted by an angle of 79.14 (7)° in mol-ecule A, whereas, in mol-ecule B, they are inclined by 19.02 (14)°. The conformations of the mol-ecules are stabilized by intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amide nitro-gen atom and the O atom of the ortho-nitro substituent on the phenyl ring, enclosing an S(6) ring motif. In the amide and aliphatic segments, all the N-H, C=O and C-H bonds are anti to each other. In the crystal, the A and B mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular amide-to-amide N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in chains running along the b-axis direction. The inter-molecular inter-actions were analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis. The two-dimensional fingerprint plots of the inter-molecular contacts indicate that the major contributions are from H⋯H and O⋯H inter-actions.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
