The title butterfly-shaped molecule, C11H6N2O2, is folded slightly along the O=C...C=O line, the dihedral angle between the two parts being 6.42 (3)°. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked through C-H...O hydrogen bonds into infinite layers parallel to the ac plane. The layers are further connected into a three-dimensional netweork via [pi]-[pi] interactions formed between pairs of antiparallel arranged molecules, with a centroid-centroid distance between the central six-membered ring and the benzene ring of 3.4349 (9) Å.
