In the title compound, C12H12N2·2C7H7NO2, the 4-aminobenzoic acid molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, forming linear hydrogen bonded chains parallel to [21]. The structure exhibits a hydrogen-bonding network involving COOH⋯N(pyridyl) and amine and carboxylic N—H⋯ O interactions. In addition, π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8622 (14) Å] are also present.

The 4-aminobenzoic acid (0.137 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (184 mg, 1.0 mmol) were dissolved in 20 ml 50% methanol-water, the solution was refluxed for 30 min. The filtered solution was transferred to a 25 ml tube after one week at room temperature, and colorless transparent crystals formed (yield 60.48%).
N and O-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined isotropically. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H=0.93 (aromatic) and 0.97 Å(methylene), and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

4-Aminobenzoic acid is a useful ligand for structure extension through both the carboxylic acid and amine functional groups, forming linear hydrogen bonding associations (Smith et al., 2005). Other related reports with 4-aminobenzoic acid and Lewis base such as 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (Smith, 1997), 4-aminobenzonitrile (Smith et al., 2000) and 2-amino-4-(4-pyridyl)pyrimidine (Lynch & McClenaghan, 2001).
We present here the crystal structure analysis of the 2:1 4-aminobenzoic acid and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane adduct (Fig 1). The structure of the title compound comprises two 4-aminobenzoic acid molecules and one 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane molecule, with no proton transfer. In the structure, the molecules associate 4-aminobenzoic acid and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane via carboxylic and pyridine group O—H···N [ O···N 2.613 (2) Å ] D22 12( Etter et al., 1990), forming linear hydrogen bonding parallel to [ 2 1 1], further connect into a three dimensional network via amine and carboxylic N—H··· O [N···O 3.030 (3) and 3.081 (3) Å ], respectively.
The title compound's supramolecular structure can be readily analyzed in terms of pyridyl atom N2 acts as hydrogen-bond donor to carboxyl atom O2. Similarly, O1 acts as hydrogen-bond donor to amino group N1, respectively (Table 1 and Fig. 2). Furthermore, p -p ring stacking interaction is between neighboring heteraromatic ring in the structure. The distance between Cg1 (N2/C8—C12)···Cg1i is 3.8622 (14) Å[ symmetry code: (i) = 2-X,1-Y,1-Z].
