Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₆N₂O₂, contains two independent molecules. The dihedral angles between the acetonitrile and the 1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione units are 69.0 (7)° and 77.0 (5)° in the two molecules. One of the two terminal N atoms is disordered over two positions in a 0.66 (8):0,34 (8) ratio. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds.
