title: N-(3-Hy-droxy-phen-yl)nicotinamide.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(10)N(2)O(2), the benzene and pyridine rings form a dihedral angle of 5.01 (8)°. The amide group is twisted by 33.54 (7)° from the plane of the pyridine ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further link dimers related into chains along the b axis.
