✦ Synopsis
The crystal structure of the orthorhombic polymorph of the title compound, C 5 H 4 N 2 O 2 , was previously reported in the space group Pna2 1 [Takusagawa, Higuchi, Shimada, Tamura & Sasada (1974). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 47, 1409Jpn, 47, -1413]]. Redetermination of this structure shows that the space group is centrosymmetric, Pnma, with the molecule located at a special position of m symmetry. The molecules are joined via O-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonds into a chain and further via C-HÁ Á ÁO interactions into a sheet parallel to (010). No face-toface stacking interactions are observed in this polymorph.
