A second orthorhombic polymorph of 2-(pyridin-4-ylmethoxy)phenol

The crystal structure of the title compound, C12H11NO2, represents a new orthorhombic polymorph II of the previously reported orthorhombic form I [Zhang et al. (2009) Acta Cryst. E65, o3160]. In polymorph II, the six-membered rings form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (1)° [71.6&...

Description
Summary:The crystal structure of the title compound, C12H11NO2, represents a new orthorhombic polymorph II of the previously reported orthorhombic form I [Zhang et al. (2009) Acta Cryst. E65, o3160]. In polymorph II, the six-membered rings form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (1)° [71.6 (1)° in I], and O—H...N hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains along [100], whereas the crystal structure of I features hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric dimers.
