1H-1,2,4-Triazole-3-carboxamide.

Planar mol-ecules of the title compound, C(3)H(4)N(4)O, are organized into sheets by extensive N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding in the (101) plane of the crystal structure. These hydrogen bonds may also stabilize the mol-ecule in the Z form. The title compound is in the amide form, as shown by the C=O bond length [1.252†(2)†à ].
