(E)-2-{Eth-yl[4-(4-nitro-phenyl-diazen-yl)phen-yl]amino}ethyl anthracene-9-carboxyl-ate.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C31H26N4O4, displays a trans conformation for the nitro­phenyl­diazenyl portion of the mol­ecule. Packing diagrams indicate that weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, likely associated with a strong dipole moment present in the mol­ecule, dictate the arrangement of mol­ecules in the crystal structure.
