The structure of the title compound, C₉H₈N₄, comprises non‐planar mol­ecules that associate via pyrimidine N—H?N dimer R(8) hydrogen‐bonding associations [N?N 3.1870 (17) Å] and form linear hydrogen‐bonded chains via a pyrimidine N—H?N(pyridyl) interaction [N?N 3.0295 (19) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 24.57 (5)°. The structure of the 1:1 adduct with 4‐amino­benzoic acid, C₉H₈N₄·C₇H₇NO₂, exhibits a hydrogen‐bond­ing network involving COOH?N(pyridyl) [O?N 2.6406 (17) Å], pyrimidine N—H?N [N?N 3.0737 (19) and 3.1755 (18) Å] and acid N—H?O interactions [N?O 3.0609 (17) and 2.981 (2) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two linked rings of the base is 38.49 (6)° and the carboxyl­ic acid group binds to the stronger base group in contrast to the (less basic) complementary hydrogen‐bonding site.
