S1. Comment

Pyridine-containing amides continue to attract considerable interest as ligands for metals (Sousa & Filgueiras, 1990; Gomes et al., 2007; Jacob & Mukherjee, 2006), building blocks in organic synthesis (Marumoto et al., 1981) and physiologically active compounds (Piatnitski & Kiselyov, 2004). As part of our studies on the synthesis and characterization of these compounds, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The C7—O1 [1.223 (3) Å], N1—C7 [1.344 (3) Å] and N1—C6 [1.410 (2) Å] bond lengths indicate extensive electron delocalization in the amide linkage. The pyridyl and phenyl rings of the title compound are almost coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 1.8 (1)°. In the crystal structure, there is an intramolecular hydrogen bond (N1—H101···N2) and no intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed (Table 1).

The reported monoclinic space-group is in a non-standard setting (Pn, #7). There is a strong feature (h + l = 2n) in hkl data. Setting up the space group as Pc results in a β angle of 23° or 157°, respectively. Obviously such an unit-cell division is inappropriate. Therefore, the non-standard setting Pn was chosen.

S2. Experimental

The title compound was synthesized from pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and aniline according to the procedure of Chan et al. (2004). The crystal used for data collection was obtained by slow evaporation from a saturated ethanol/water solution at room temperature.

S3. Refinement

All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with N—H = 0.86 Å, C—H = 0.93 Å, and with U_iso(H) = 1.2U_eq(parent atom).

Special details

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
