The 1:1 complex of 4-nitrophenol and 4-methylpyridine

Abstract

4-Nitro­phenol and 4-methyl­pyridine form a 1:1 hydrogen-bonded dimer, C6H5NO3.C6H7N, with the mol­ecules linked by an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond [O⋯N 2.668 (2) Å]. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and pyridine ring is 57.8 (4)°. The dimers pack in a herring-bone structure in the crystal lattice.
