6-Oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid

S. Gupta, S. Long and T. Li

Abstract: The title compound, C6H5NO3, commonly known as 6-hydroxynicotinic acid, is found to be a tautomer of it. Four molecules, all adopting a planar conformation, are found in the asymmetric unit. The compound forms hydrogen-bonded sheets parallel to the [001] direction via intermolecular N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds. Each sheet consists of interconnected dimers created by R22(8) N-H...O hydrogen-bonded motifs and infinite chains formed by C(7) hydrogen-bonded motifs. Alternatively, these sheets can be viewed as infinitely fused 32-membered hydrogen-bonded rings.
