title: A hydrogen-bonded heterodimer of 1-(4-hexyloxyphenyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one with 4-cyanobenzoic acid.
abstract: The two components of the title heterodimer, C17H21NO2.C8H5NO2, are linked end-to-end via O-H...O(=C) and C-H...O(=C) hydrogen-bond interactions. Additional lateral C-H...O interactions link the dimers in a side-by-side fashion to produce wide infinite molecular ribbons. Adjacent ribbons are interconnected via pi-pi stacking and C-H...pi(arene) interactions. This structure represents the first evidence of robust hydrogen-bond formation between the moieties of pyridin-4(1H)-one and benzoic acid.
