Abstract
The title Schiff base compound, C17H16N2O6, has an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond, with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of 31.90 (12)°. There is an intramolecular O—H...Onitro hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers enclosing an R
2
2(4) ring motif. The dimers are linked about an inversion centre by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which enclose R
2
2(22) loops, forming chains propagating along the [10\overline{3}] direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots show enrichment ratios for the H...H, O...H and C...H contacts, indicating a high propensity of such interactions in the crystal. Both the nitro group and the CH3–CH2–O– group are positionally disordered.
