In the title compound, C₇H₆BNO₂, the mean plane of the –B(OH)₂ group is twisted by 21.28 (6)° relative to the cyanophenyl ring mean plane. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the [101] direction. Offset π–π and B...π stacking interactions link the chains, forming a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals interactions constitute a further major contribution to the intermolecular interactions, with H...H contacts accounting for 25.8% of the surface.
