Description
Summary:The asymmetric unit of title co-crystal, C10H8N2·2C7H7NO2, comprises a centrosymmetric 4,4′-bipyridine molecule, and a 2-aminobenzoic acid molecule in a general position. The latter is effectively planar [C—C—C—O torsion angle = 5.0 (3)°] owing to an intramolecular N—H...O(carbonyl) hydrogen bond. Three-molecule aggregates are formed via O—H...N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds and these are connected into supramolecular layers in the bc plane by N—H...O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between pyridyl and benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.634 (2) Å]. Layers are connected along the a axis by weak π–π interactions between benzene rings [3.964 (2) Å].
