N-(1H-1,2,4-Triazol-5-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamide

In the structure of the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(5)O, the pyridine ring and the imidazole ring are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 2.97 (15)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between neighboring imidazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.5842 (5) Å and off-set angle = 21.77°], leading to the formation of a two-dimensional supra­molecular sheet.
