Crystal structure of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid-4-pyridone (1/3)

Abstract

Slow co-crystallization of a solution of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid with a large excess of 4-hydroxypyridine produces an interpenetrating, three-dimensional, hydrogen-bonded framework consisting of three 4-pyridone and one benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid molecules, C9H6O6·3C5H5NO. This structure represents an orthorhombic polymorph of the previously reported C-centered, monoclinic structure [Campos-Gaxiola et al. (2014). Acta Cryst. E70, o453-o454].
