The asymmetric unit of the potential mono-Schiff base ligand title compound, C(13)H(10)N(4), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules, A and B. In mol-ecule A, the two rings are twisted from each other by 13.90 (18)°. By contrast, the dihedral angle between the two rings in mol-ecule B is 0.67 (19)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯N inter-actions via R(4) (4)(32) motifs, forming two-dimensional arrays. The short distances between the centroids of the six-membered rings indicate the existence of π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6880 (17)-3.7466 (15) Å].
