In the 2:1 co-crystal of 5-(2-pyridyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (pyt) and 1,4-dihy
droxybenzene (dhb), 2C(7)H(6)N(4).-C6H6O2, the pyt molecules form two indep
endent N-H ... N hydrogen-bonded chains. The dhb molecules act as hydrogen-
bonding bridges between the two pyt chains via two O-H ... N hydrogen bonds
. The complex is further stabilized by a number of weaker interactions, inc
luding C-H ... N, C-H ... O and C-H ...pi interactions.
