N-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)nicotinamide

Abstract

In the title molecule, C12H10N2O2, the benzene and pyridine rings form a dihedral angle of 5.01 (8)°. The amide group is twisted by 33.54 (7)° from the plane of the pyridine ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of O—H...N hydrogen bonds. N—H...O hydrogen bonds further link dimers related into chains along the b axis.
