The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H11IN2O, comprises two crystallographically independent molecules. The dihedral angles between the ring planes are 53.56 (9) and 72.14 (19)° in the two molecules. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds and I...O interactions link neighbouring molecules into two different pairs of dimers, those involving N—H...N interactions having R22(8) ring motifs. Short intermolecular I...O [3.1458 (15) Å] and I...N [3.4834 (16) Å] contacts are present. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular C—H...π interactions [3.565 (2) and 3.629 (2) Å].
