title: 1,5-Dicyano-anthraquinone.
abstract: The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(6)N(2)O(2), which is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.04 Å). In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are stacked along the a axis, with a shortest centroid-centroid separation of 3.826 (2) Å.
