2-Amino-5-chloro­pyridine–benzoic acid (1/1)

In the title compound, C(5)H(5)ClN(2)·C(7)H(6)O(2), the carboxyl group of the benzoic acid mol­ecule is twisted away from the attached ring by 14.22 (7)°. In the crystal, the 2-amino-5-chloro­pyridine mol­ecules inter­act with the carboxyl groups of benzoic acid mol­ecules through N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming cyclic R (2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bonded motifs, and linking the mol­ecules into chains parallel to the [001] direction. Neighbouring 2-amino-5-chloro­pyridine mol­ecules are also centrosymmetrically paired through C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming another R (2) (2)(8) motif. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
