A mix of 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2.24 g, 0.01 mol) and benzoate acid (2.44 g,0.02 mol) in methanol (20 ml) was stirred until clear. After several days, the title compound was formed and recrystallized from solution to afford colourlesss prismatic crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2eq(C).

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. |

At present, much attention in ferroelectric material field is focused on developing ferroelectric pure organic or inorganic compounds (Haertling et al. 1999; Homes et al. 2001). Recently we have reported the synthesis of a variety of compounds (Ye et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2008), which have potential piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. In order to find more dielectric ferroelectric materials, we investigate the physical properties of the title compound(Fig. 1). The dielectric constant of the title compound as a function of temperature indicates that the permittivity is basically temperature-independent (dielectric constant equaling to 3.6 to 4.7), suggesting that this compound should be not a real ferroelectrics or there may be no distinct phase transition occurred within the measured temperature range. Similarly, below the melting point (374 K) of the compound, the dielectric constant as a function of temperature also goes smoothly, and there is no dielectric anomaly observed (dielectric constant equaling to 3.0 to 4.2).Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.
