2-Bromopyridine-3-carboxylic acid

The carboxylic acid residue in the title compound, C6H4BrNO2, is twisted out of the plane of the other atoms, as indicated by the (Br)C-C-C-O-carbonyl torsion angle of -20.1 (9)degrees. In the crystal, supramolecular chains mediated by O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds are formed with base vector [201] and C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions reinforce the packing.
