Abstract
The crystal structure of 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline, C 13 H 9 NO, has been determined. The asymmetric part of the unit cell comprises two almost planar molecules. A strong intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond closes the six-membered ring. The geometrical features of the molecule suggest that it can be regarded as a 2-phenylpyridine with a fused double bond. In the crystal structure there are alternate layers of the two symmetry-independent molecules.
