Abstract:
The title compound, C12H9N3O2, adopts an E conformation at the imine double bond. The pyridyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 47.78 (5)° with the benzene ring, indicating the mol-ecule is twisted. In the crystal, mol-ecules are π-π stacked into columns parallel to [100], with an inter-planar separation of 3.8537 (8) Å, corresponding to the length of the a axis. The chains are further linked via weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional sheets parallel to (010). The sheets interact by van der Waals inter-actions.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

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...
