(2E)-2-(4-Fluorobenzylidene)hydrazinecarboxamide

In the title compound, C8H8FN3O, the semicarbazide group is close to being planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.020 (1) Å, and subtends a dihedral angle of 16.63 (9)° with its attached fluorobenzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to the bc plane
