The Cl atom substituent on the cyanophenyl ring is disordered over two rotationally related sites [occupancy factors 0.887 (2):0.113 (2)], while the molecular conformation is stabilized by the presence of an intramolecular aromatic C¡ªH...¦Ð interaction. Both N¡ªH groups participate in separate intermolecular hydrogen-bonding associations with centrosymmetric cyclic motifs [graph sets R22(8) and R22(12)], resulting in ribbons parallel to [010]. Further weak C¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds link these ribbons into a two-dimensional molecular assembly. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812039451
