4-Nitro-N-[(E)-thio-phen-2-yl-methyl-idene]aniline.

In the title compound, C(11)H(8)N(2)O(2)S, there is a twist in the mol-ecule, with the dihedral angle between the five- and six-membered rings being 31.77 (9)°. The nitro group is slightly twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is attached [O-N-C-C torsion angle = 9.0 (3)°]. The S and N atoms are syn. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers parallel to (-204) are formed by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions. These layers are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by π-π inter-actions occurring between centrosymmetrically related benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6020 (11) Å].
