Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁N₃O₃, crystallizes with molecules positioned on twofold rotation axes in space group P4₃2₁2. Five crystallographically unique intermolecular C-H^-O-⁺N contacts with HO = 2.201 (7), 2.50 (2), 2.45 (1), 2.38 (1) and 2.35 (2) Å produce a complex network of hydrogen bonds that assist in the stabilization of the crystal structure.
