In the crystal structure, intermolecular C¡ªH...O interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, forming R22(18) ring motifs. Aromatic ¦Ð¨C¦Ð contacts between indazole rings [centroid¨Ccentroid distances = 3.632 (1) and 3.705 (1) ] may further stabilize the structure. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809025410
