Crystal structure of a new monoclinic polymorph of N-(4-methylphenyl)-3-nitropyridin-2-amine

The title compound, C12H11N3O2, is a second monoclinic polymorph (P21, with Z′ = 4) of the previously reported monoclinic (P21/c, with Z′ = 2) form [Akhmad Aznan et al. (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o2400]. Four independent molecules comprise the asymmetric unit, which have the common features of a syn d...
