In the crystal, intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O, N-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. pi-pi contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.965 (1) angstrom] may further stabilize the structure. A weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interaction also occurs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.1107/S16005368100462582-s2.0-78650095751U73921589250N/AM155966WOS:000284831000050Q4
