The crystal structure of 7-nitro-1H-indazole, C7H5N3O2, an inhibitor of nit
ric oxide synthase, shows the existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond
between an O atom of the nitro group and the NH group of the indazole ring.
The crystal packing consists of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and indazo
le . . . indazole interactions.
