Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₈N₂·C₁₀H₁₈O₄, consists of sebacic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine molecules. The sebacic acid molecule displays an extended planar structure, but the pyridine rings of the 4,4'-bipyridine molecule are twisted relative to each other, with a dihedral angle of 15.78 (7)°. The centroid-to-centroid separation of 3.6366 (11) Å indicates - stacking between parallel pyridine rings.
