The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(17)H(10)N(4)O, has crystallographically imposed C(2) symmetry. The urea group and the benzene ring are nearly coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 4.15 (7)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions, with a centroid-to-centroid separation of 3.833 (4) Å.
