✦ Synopsis
The title compound, C~13~H~10~N~2~O~2~, has a Z,Z (trans–trans) arrangement of the central CONHCO group and an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond. The molecule has a twisted conformation; the pyridine ring, which is almost parallel to the plane of the amide function at position 2, is inclined to the phenyl ring by 50.05 (6)°. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a zigzag polymer chain extending in the a-axis direction. The chains are linked by a C—H...π interaction involving phenyl rings of adjacent chains. There is also a π–π interaction involving pyridine rings related by a center of symmetry.
