The title compound [systematic name: N-(2,3,4,5,6-penta-fluoro-phen-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide], C12H5F5N2O, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit in space group P1. The mol-ecules adopt a conformation where the planes of the penta-fluoro-phenyl and pyridyl rings have twist angles of 5.3 (1) and 14.5 (1)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the amide H atom and the pyridyl nitro-gen atom of an adjacent mol-ecule to generate [110] chains of alternating A and B mol-ecules. The packing is consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions, π-π stacking and C-H⋯O inter-actions and a short F⋯F contact of 2.7270 (13) Å occurs. The structures of related isonicotinamides are surveyed.

Hydrogel Synthesis
Hydrogels are a versatile class of cross-linked polymers produced through relatively simple procedures and with generally inexpensive materials. They can be formed from solution and involve a polymer backbone formed from monomer reagents, an initiator which makes the polymer reactive and a crosslinking species which binds the polymer chains...
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
