Abstract: | In the crystal structure of the title compound, C12H10N4, the pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 1.12 (9)° with the mean plane of the complete almost planar and crystallographically centrosymmetric molecule. There are stacks of parallel molecules along the a‐axis direction, with alternate stacks having a herring‐bone arrangement relative to each other and an interplanar spacing of 3.551 Å. |
