4-Methoxy-N-[(E)-(5-nitrothiophen-2-yl)methylidene]aniline

The title molecule, C12H10N2O3S, is nonplanar with an interplanar angle of 33.44 (7)° between the benzene and thiophene rings. In the crystal there exist only weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions, π–π interactions between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7465 (14) ] and X—Y...π interactions to the thiophene and benzene rings [N...centroid distances = 3.718 (3) and 3.355 (3) , respectively]. Intermolecular C—H...O interactions link the molecules into chains parallel to the a axis.
