In the title compound, C6H8N2, there are four molecules in the with each molecule, including the H atoms on the N atoms of the amino groups, showing local C2 symmetry. In the all except one of the NH2 groups participate in N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The identified hydrogen bonds furnish a three-dimensional network. N—H⋯π contacts are observed with H⋯π distances ranging from 2.516 (17) to 2.815 (16) Å. No π-stacking of the aromatic rings is observed.

The compound was obtained commercially (Fluka). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained upon slow evaporation of a solution of the compound in propan-2-ol.
All H atoms bonded to C atoms were calculated in idealized position and refined as riding on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) values of 1.2 Ueq(C). All H atoms bonded to N atoms were refined freely with individual Uiso(H) values.

In a program focused on the synthesis of derivatives of phenylarsonic acid, a number of substituted aniline-derivatives were chosen as starting materials. In order to compare the influence of an arsonic group on the geometry of some of these starting materials, the crystal structure of meta-phenylenediamine was elucidated by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
In the molecule (Fig. 1) bond lengths and angles are normal. The H atoms on the nitrogens in each molecule are orientated towards different sides of the aromatic plane. The asymmetric unit contains four molecules (Fig. 2).
In the crystal structure, several of the amino groups participate in a classical hydrogen bonding system. In addition, N–H···π contacts are observed with H···π distances ranging from 2.516 (17)Å to 2.815 (16)Å. Details about distances and angles of these interactions are given in Table 1 (Cgn is the centroid of the Cn1–Cn6 phenyl ring). Summarizing both these interactions, only the amino group on N43 is not involved at all. No π-stacking of the aromatic moieties is obvious. In total, a three-dimensional network is established by these interactions (Fig. 3).
