Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₆N₂, there are two independent half-molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, each molecule being completed by an inversion center situated in the mid-point of the central N-N bond. The molecules themselves therefore are essentially planar with r.m.s. deviations of 0.015 (1) and 0.020 (1) Å, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are connected via C-H interactions in which only type B molecules are donors, while both A and B molecules act as acceptors. As a result, type B molecules are linked into infinite chains along b, which are interconnected by molecules of type A.
