title: 2-Amino-5-chloro-pyridine-benzoic acid (1/1).
abstract: In the title compound, C(5)H(5)ClN(2)·C(7)H(6)O(2), the carboxyl group of the benzoic acid mol-ecule is twisted away from the attached ring by 14.22 (7)°. In the crystal, the 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecules inter-act with the carboxyl groups of benzoic acid mol-ecules through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming cyclic R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bonded motifs, and linking the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the [001] direction. Neighbouring 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecules are also centrosymmetrically paired through C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming another R(2) (2)(8) motif. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
