Abstract:
In the title compound, C(5)H(5)ClN(2)·C(7)H(6)O(2), the carboxyl group of the benzoic acid mol-ecule is twisted away from the attached ring by 14.22 (7)°. In the crystal, the 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecules inter-act with the carboxyl groups of benzoic acid mol-ecules through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming cyclic R(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bonded motifs, and linking the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the [001] direction. Neighbouring 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecules are also centrosymmetrically paired through C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming another R(2) (2)(8) motif. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
