The bond lengths and angles within the title molecule, C7H8N2O2, conform to average values for other 5-substituted-2-nitroanilines, and with those calculated by a DFT geometry optimization. The short C—NH2 bond length of 1.3469 (12) Å is indicative of substantial involvement of the aniline N-atom in the aromatic π bonding system of the ring. In the extended structure, N—H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into [001] tapes, which aggregate into zipper-like folded ribbons. Layers of parallel ribbons stack along a to complete the structure.
