2-(3-Chloro-anilino)pyridine.

In the title compound, C(11)H(9)ClN, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 44.2 (1)° and the bridging C-N-C bond angle is 127.60 (19)°. The amino N-H grouping makes a hydrogen bond to the pyridyl N atom of an adjacent mol-ecule across a center of inversion, generating a hydrogen-bonded dimer.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
