The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H13N3O3·0.5C2H6OS, is composed of two independent pyrazolidine-3,5-dione molecules and one dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecule. In each pyrazolidine-3,5-dione molecule, an intramolecular N—HO hydrogen bond forms an S(5)S(6) motif. In the crystal, pairs of each independent pyrazolidine-3,5-dione molecule are linked by N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with R22(8) motifs. These dimers are connected with the other molecules through the solvent molecules via O—HO hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons along the b-axis direction. C—Hπ interactions connect the ribbons. C—HO interactions also occur.
