1-[6-(6-Acetyl-pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]ethanone.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)N(2)O(2), the asymmetric unit comprises one half-mol-ecule with an inversion center between the pyridine rings. The rings are trans coplanar with the acetyl groups deviating slightly from the mean planes, making a dihedral angle of 4.63 (4)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra-molecular sheet parallel to (100).
