Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H10N2, contains one half-molecule with the two shared C atoms lying on a twofold rotation axis. The 1,8-naphthyridine is almost planar with a dihedral angle of 0.42 (3)° between the fused pyridine rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked into infinite chains along the c axis by intermolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating R 2 2(8) ring motifs. In addition, the crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions.
