Single crystals of the title compound, C19H16N2O4, were obtained under hydrothermal conditions by an unintended recrystallization of the employed microcrystalline starting material. The [(pyridin-4-yl)methoxy]benzoic acid unit is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.194 (2) Å. This plane is inclined by 35.82 (6)° to that defined by the second (pyridin-4-yl)methoxy group [in which the largest deviation from the least-squares plane is 0.013 (2) Å]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the acid hydroxy group and a pyridine N atom into chains parallel to [-201].

3,5-bis(pyridin-4-yl-methoxy)benzoic acid was obtained commercially. A mixture of 3,5-bis(pyridin-4-yl-methoxy)benzoic acid (0.5 mmol), CdCl2.2.5H2O (0.25 mmol), and NaOH (0.5 mmol) in H2O (16 ml) was sealed in a 25 ml stainless steel reactor with a telflon liner and heated at 433 K for 72 h, and then cooled to room temperature at a speed of 5 Kh-1. Colourless single crystals of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation of the filtrate over a few days.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were positioned geometrically and included in the
using a riding model [C—H 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.97 Å (methylene); Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)]. The oxygen-bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with an O—H distance restrained to 0.85 Å [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O)].MOFs derived from the 3,5-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethoxy)benzoic acid ligand have been synthesized recently (Xu et al., 2009). During hydrothermal syntheses intended for crystal growth of related systems, crystals of the educt 3,5-bis(pyridin-4-yl-methoxy)benzoic acid, (I), have been unexpectedly obtained.
The molecular structure of (I) is presented in Fig. 1. Atoms O1—O4, C1—C6, C12—C19 and N2 are nearly coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.098 Å; largest deviation from the least-squares plane 0.194 (2) Å); atoms C7—C11, C18 and N1 of the second pyridyl moiety are in another plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å; largest deviation from the least-squares plane 0.013 (2) Å). The dihedral angle between the two planes is 35.82 (6)°.
The carboxylic O—H group and neighbouring pyridyl N atoms are involved in O—H···N hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1), forming chains extending parallel to [201] (Fig. 2). There are no significant π···π interactions between the aromatic planes of adjacent chains.

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. |

MOFs derived from the 3,5-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethoxy)benzoic acid ligand have been synthesized recently (Xu et al., 2009). During hydrothermal syntheses intended for crystal growth of related systems, crystals of the educt 3,5-bis(pyridin-4-yl-methoxy)benzoic acid, (I), have been unexpectedly obtained.
The molecular structure of (I) is presented in Fig. 1. Atoms O1—O4, C1—C6, C12—C19 and N2 are nearly coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.098 Å; largest deviation from the least-squares plane 0.194 (2) Å); atoms C7—C11, C18 and N1 of the second pyridyl moiety are in another plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å; largest deviation from the least-squares plane 0.013 (2) Å). The dihedral angle between the two planes is 35.82 (6)°.
The carboxylic O—H group and neighbouring pyridyl N atoms are involved in O—H···N hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1), forming chains extending parallel to [201] (Fig. 2). There are no significant π···π interactions between the aromatic planes of adjacent chains.
