Abstract

In the title compound, C10H6N4O4, the pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 67.8 (1)°. The O-atom pairs are trans, each displaced by a similar distance [average = 0.2331 (2) Å] out of the attached pyridine ring plane. In the crystal, inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.
