Summary: | The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H5ClN2·0.5C4H4O4, comprises a neutral 2-amino-5-chloropyridine molecule and one half of a fumaric acid molecule which lies on an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the plane formed by the fumaric acid molecule is 3.22 (8)°. The 2-amino-5-chloropyridine molecule is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.004 (1) Å for the pyridine N atom. In the crystal, the 2-amino-5-chloropyridine molecules interact with the carboxyl groups of fumaric acid molecules through N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R22(8) ring motifs and another N—H...O hydrogen bond links these motifs into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
