In the crystal structure of the title compound, C12H14N4O3, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and imidazole rings is 76.55 (7)°. The nitrite O atoms of the (E)-2-nitriminoimidazolidin-1-yl group act as the acceptors of three N—H...O hydrogen bonds from the N atom of the imidazole ring, resulting in a one-dimensional chain. C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions are also observed in this complex, extending the structure into a two-dimensional supramolecular sheet.
