Abstract

The title compound, C13H10N2O2, 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.
