m-Phenyl­enediamine

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H8N2, there are four mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, with each mol­ecule, including the H atoms on the N atoms of the amino groups, showing local C2 symmetry. In the crystal structure, all except one of the NH2 groups participate in N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The identified hydrogen bonds furnish a three-dimensional network. N—H⋯π contacts are observed with H⋯π distances ranging from 2.516 (17) to 2.815 (16) Å. No π-stacking of the aromatic rings is observed
