In the title compound, C(13)H(16)N(4)O(2), the pyrazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 50.61 (6)° with the 3-nitro-phenyl ring. The plane of the nitro group is twisted by 6.8 (7)° out of the plane of the phenyl ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets in the bc plane. In addition, a weak C-H⋯N inter-action is observed.
