The 2,4,5-tri(4-pyridyl)imidazole was prepared by the methord reported in the literature (Proskurnina et al. 2002). A mixture of 2,4,5-tri(4-pyridyl)imidazole (0.030 g, 0.1 mmol), 2 drops of 1 mol/L HCl and water (10 mL) was placed in a 25 mL Teflon-lined autoclave and heated for 3 d at 433 K under autogenous pressure. Upon cooling and opening the bomb, colourless block-shaped crystals were obtained, then washed with water and dried in air.
All H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with (C—H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H)= 1.2 Ueq(C). The hydrogen atoms of water molecules were located in a difference Fourier map, and were refined with suitable O—H distance restraint; Uiso = 1.5 Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

In the 2,4,5-tri(4-pyridyl)imidazole three pyridyl groups (pyridyl ring B (C4-C8 and N3), C (C9-C13 and N4), D (C14-C18 and N5)) are directly connected with the imidazole ring A (C1-C3 , N1 and N2). The dihedral angles between the mean planes of pyridyl ring B and imidazole ring A, pyridyl ring C and imidazole ring A, and pyridyl ring D and imidazole ring A are 9.1 (7) °, 21.5 (5) °, 45.5 (1) °, respectively.
We report herein on the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1). In the crystal lattice the molecules are linked by O—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Jiang et al. 2011; Li et al. 2011; Li 2011) interactions to generate a one-dimensional double chain structure (Fig. 2).
