title: m-Phenyl-enediamine.
abstract: In the title compound, C(6)H(8)N(2), there are four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, with each mol-ecule, 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 NH(2) 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.
