The four O atoms in the equatorial plane form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement, while the slightly distorted octahedral coordination is completed by the two N atoms of the NA ligands in the axial positions. The dihedral angle between the carboxylate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 9.14 (9)°, while the pyridine and benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 82.18 (8)°. In the crystal, N - H?O and O - H?O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a two-dimensional network lying parallel to (101). ?-? stacking between parallel pyridine rings of adjacent molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7765 (8) Å] further stabilizes the crystal structure. © Bozkurt et al. 2013.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle696m349m35010.1107/S160053681301458XN/A
