Abstract: The title compound, C₁₂H₁₀N₂O, a second monoclinic polymorph of (E)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone oxime crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n (Z = 4). The previously reported polymorph [Taga et al. (1990). Acta Cryst. C46, 2241-2243] occurs in the space group C2/c (Z = 8). In the crystal, pairs of bifurcated O-H(N,O) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers. The dimers are linked by C-H interactions, forming a linear arrangement. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and phenyl rings is 67.70 (8)°.
