title: 3-(4-Pyrid-yl)benzoic acid.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(2), is not planar, the benzene and pyridine rings making a dihedral angle of 32.14 (7)°. The carb-oxy group is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring by 11.95 (10)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link neighboring mol-ecules into infinite chains along the c axis.
