Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title mol-ecule, C(13)H(14)N(4), the two pyridyl rings are not coplanar but twisted about the C-N bond with an inter-planar angle of 71.1 (1)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules form dimers, situated on crystallographic centres of inversion, which are connected via a pair of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. C-H⋯π-electron ring inter-actions are also present in the crystal structure. The title mol-ecule adopts an s-cis-anti-s-cis conformation in the solid state.
