Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₇H₉N₃O₂, the phthalonitrile group and the isoindole-1,3-dione group lie in approximately orthogonal planes and exhibit a dihedral angle of 92.76 (8)°. Partial face-to-face overlap is observed between the two groups. In addition, the crystal packing is stabilized by C-HO and C-HN interactions.
