Benzoic acid-4-{(1E)-[(E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl-methyl-idene)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]meth-yl}pyridine (2/1)
Abstract:
In the title co-crystal, C(12)H(10)N(4)·2C(7)H(6)O(2), the complete 4-pyridine-aldazine mol-ecule is generated by a crystallographic centre of inversion. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into a three component aggregate via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. As both the benzoic acid [O-C-C-C torsion angle = 174.8 (2)°] and 4-pyridine-aldazine (r.m.s. deviation of the 16 non-H atoms = 0.041 Å) mol-ecules are almost planar, the resulting three-component aggregate is essentially planar. The crystal packing comprises layers of the three-component aggregates of alternating orientation stacked along the b axis; the connections between the mol-ecules are of the types C-H⋯π and π-π [pyridine-benzene centroid-centroid distance = 3.787 (4) Å].

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

IUPAC Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
For acyclic saturated monocarboxylic acids, the longest hydrocarbon chain containing the –COOH carbon is identified as the parent chain. Then, the last -e of the parent hydrocarbon name is replaced with a suffix -oic acid.
