The 1:1 6H6N2O·CH3NO, consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers, each comprising two isonicotinamide or two formamide molecules. These dimers are connected further by hydrogen bonds into sheets, which are parallel to the (11) plane.
of isonicotinamide and formamide, CComment
Isonicotinamide has been shown to crystallize with , consisting of two amide and two acid molecules (Aakeröy et al., 2002; Oswald et al., 2004). contain C=O and C—NH2 groups that could act in an analogous way to the C=O and C—OH groups of The aim of the present investigation was to assess the validity of this analogy in the case of the simplest amide, formamide.
in a 1:1 stoichiometry to form a robust building block or `supermolecule', (I)The title , crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c with one molecule of each component in the (Fig. 1). The bond distances and angles are unremarkable.
(II)R22(8) (Bernstein et al. 1995) centrosymmetric dimers through hydrogen bonding between the NH2 and C=O groups. This behaviour is observed in (II), where homomeric dimers are formed (i.e. formamide forms a dimer with another formamide etc.), the two components in each case being related by crystallographic inversion centres. The N⋯O distances in the R22(8) dimers are 2.9239 (16) Å in the case of isonicotinamide and 2.9696 (16) Å for formamide.
characteristically formIn co-crystals of R22(8) dimers are often formed between the amide groups of the isonicotinamide molecules (Aakeröy et al., 2002). The two pyridyl functions at either end of the nicotinamide dimer so formed hydrogen bond to two carboxylic acid molecules in R22(7) motifs comprising C—OH⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Of these interactions, only the R22(8) dimer formation is observed in (II).
with isonicotinamide, homomericThe second donor function of the isonicotinamide forms a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl O atom of the formamide; these interactions build up chains. The chains are linked together through a hydrogen bond between a symmetry-equivalent formamide dimer and the pyridine N atom of the isonicotinamide forming an open grid-like layer parallel to the (11) plane (Fig. 2). The second donor function of the formamide molecules serves to link this layer with a symmetry equivalent parallel to (1) filling in the structure.

Experimental
Isonicotinamide (0.49 g, 4.02 mmol) was dissolved in an excess of formamide (1.48 g, 32.10 mmol) and warmed until all the solid dissolved. On cooling, long colourless needles were produced, which fractured into thinner shards, degrading the crystal quality, when attempts were made to cut them to a more suitable length.

H atoms attached to C atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.95 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms attached to N atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Isonicotinamide has been shown to crystallize with carboxylic acids in a 1:1 stoichiometry to form a robust building block or `supermolecule', (I), consisting of two amide and two acid molecules (Aakeröy et al., 2002; Oswald et al., 2004). Amides contain C═O and C—NH2 groups that could act in an analogous way to the C═O and C—OH groups of carboxylic acids. The aim of the present investigation was to assess the validity of this analogy in the case of the simplest amide, formamide.
The title co-crystal, (II), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with one molecule of each component in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The primary bond distances and angles are unremarkable.
Amides characteristically form R22(8) (Bernstein et al. 1995) centrosymmetric dimers through hydrogen bonding between the NH2 and C═O moieties. This behaviour is observed in (II), where homomeric dimers are formed (i.e. formamide forms a dimer with another formamide etc.), the two components in each case being related by crystallographic inversion centres. The N···O distances in the R22(8) dimers are 2.9239 (16) Å in the case of isonicotinamide and 2.9696 (16) Å for formamide.
In co-crystals of carboxylic acids with isonicotinamide, homomeric R22(8) dimers are often formed between the amide groups of the isonicotinamide molecules (Aakeröy et al., 2002). The two pyridyl functions at either end of the nicotinamide dimer so formed hydrogen bond to two carboxylic acid molecules in R22(7) motifs comprising C—OH···N and C—H···O hydrogen bonds. Of these interactions, only the R22(8) dimer formation is observed in (II).
The second donor function of the isonicotinamide forms a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl O atom of the formamide; these interactions build-up chains. The chains are linked together through a hydrogen bond between a symmetry-equivalent formamide dimer and the pyridine N atom of the isonicotinamide forming an open grid-like layer parallel to the (−211) planes (Fig. 2). The second donor function of the formamide molecules serves to link this layer with a symmetry equivalent parallel to (−2–11) filling-in the structure.
