Abstract
The molecule of 1,2-dicyanobenzene, C 8 H 4 N 2 , possesses mirror symmetry. The two cyano groups are bent slightly above the plane of the molecule. The six aromatic C-C bonds in the benzene ring have a mean value of 1.377 A. The C-CN and C≡N bond lengths are 1.430(7) and 1.149 (8)A, respectively. The internal angles in the benzene ring differ slightly from 120°. The shortest intermolecular contact is N(1)...H(2) of 2.657 (16) A.
