Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₁N₃O₃, has been determined from X-ray powder data. The molecule is slightly non-planar. The structure adopts a stacking arrangement, with the stacks extended along [001]. The AM1 calculations of the crystal electrostatic potential show that the crystal environment causes only a moderate (23%) increase in the molecular dipole moment of the title compound.
