In the title compound, C16H11N3O, the molecular conformation is partially determined by an intramolecular C—H...π(ring) interaction. In the crystal, pairwise N—H...N hydrogen bonds form dimers, which associate into stacks through a combination of C—H...O, C—H...π(ring) and offset π–π stacking interactions.
