Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C₁₀H₇N₃, excluding the methyl H atoms, is essentially planar, the maximum deviation being 0.067 (2) Å for the C atom of the methyl group. The molecular packing is made up of a network of weak hydrogen-bonding interactions involving all the N atoms, which stabilizes the molecules in layers parallel to the ac plane. The interlayer distance of ca 3.74 Å allows stabilization along the b axis by - stacking.
