title: 2-(2-Nitro-phen-yl)acetohydrazide.
abstract: In the title compound, C8H9N3O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the acetohydrazide C-C(=O)-N-N plane [maximum deviation = 0.0471 (13) Å] is 87.62 (8)°. The nitro group is twisted by 19.3 (2)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a double-column structure along the b axis.
