title: N-(1H-1,2,4-Triazol-5-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamide.
abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(5)O, the pyridine ring and the imidazole ring are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.97 (15)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between neighboring imidazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5842 (5) Å and off-set angle = 21.77°], leading to the formation of a two-dimensional supra-molecular sheet.
