1-(6-Nitro-1H-indazol-1-yl)ethanone

In the title molecule, C9H7N3O3, the indazole moiety is essentially planar and the mean plane of the acetyl substituent is twisted by 5.3 (1)° from its plane. In the crystal, weak C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds form layers parallel to (102), which are associated through π-stacking interactions to form a three-dimensional network. The structure was refined as a two-component twin.
