The title compound, C9H13N3O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and all non-hydrogen atoms are within 0.1 Å of the mol-ecular mean plane. In the crystal, the hydrogen-bonding pattern results in [001] chains built up from fused R 2 2(6) and R 2 2(10) rings; the former consists of N-H⋯N bonds and the latter N-H⋯O bonds. Electrostatic and dispersion forces are major contributors to the lattice energy, which was estimated by DFT calculations to be -215.7 kJ mol-1.
Keywords: DFT calculations; acyl hydrazide; crystal structure; hydrogen bonding; lattice energy.
