3,5-Lutidine

A. D. Bond and J. E. Davies

Abstract: The crystal structure of 3,5-lutidine (3,5-dimethylpyridine, C7H9N) has been determined at 150  (2)  K following in situ crystal growth from the liquid. In space group I2/a, the asymmetric unit comprises half a molecule, each molecule possessing a crystallographic diad axis. Molecules are linked by linear C-H...N interactions into extended polar chains aligned in a parallel manner to form polar sheets. Adjacent sheets are arranged in an anti-parallel manner.
