Ethyl (2-pyridylmethyl)phosphonate.
Molecules of the title compound, C8H12NO3P, exist as zwitterions. The positive charge formally located on the N atom is spread over the pyridyl ring. A partial delocalization of negative charge within the O-P-O system is observed. The conformational features and hydrogen-bonding network of the title compound are compared with the structure of (2-pyridylmethyl)phosphonic acid.
