The nitrile group and the attached benzene ring are roughly coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.087 (1) angstrom]. An intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond involving the hydrazinyl group generates an S(6) ring. The N-N and C-N bond lengths indicate that the compound may be a mixture of the azo and hydrazone tautomeric forms but the presence of the N-bound H atom supports the hydrazone form. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O, C-H center dot center dot center dot N and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGratings4-[2-(2,2-Dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-ylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]benzonitrileArticle10.1107/S16005368100240252-s2.0-77954388328U41821587996Q3O178466WOS:000279389400030Q4
