Abstract
The title compound, C14H16N6O2, is a second monoclinic polymorph of 2-[1-(3,5-dimeth-yl)pyrazol-yl]-2-hy-droxy-imino-N'-[1-(2-pyrid-yl)ethyl-idene] acetohydrazide, with two crystallographically independent mol-ecules per asymmetric unit. The non-planar mol-ecules are chemically equal having similar geometric parameters. The previously reported polymorph [Plutenko et al. (2012 ▶). Acta Cryst. E68, o3281] was described in space group Cc (Z = 4). The oxime group and the O atom of the amide group are anti with respect to the C-C bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains extending along the b axis.
