2-Amino-benzoic acid-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)eth-yl]pyridine (2/1).
The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C12H12N2·2C7H7NO2, comprises a centrosymmetric 4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)eth-yl]pyridine mol-ecule and a 2-amino-benzoic acid mol-ecule in a general position. The acid has a small twist between the carb-oxy-lic acid residue and the ring [dihedral angle = 7.13 (6)°] despite the presence of an intra-molecular N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bond. Three-mol-ecule aggregates are formed via O-H⋯N(pyrid-yl) hydrogen bonds, and these are connected into supra-molecular layers in the bc plane by N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between pyridine and benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.6332 (9) Å]. Layers are connected along the a axis by weak π-π inter-actions between benzene rings [3.9577 (10) Å].
