The title 1:1 co-crystal, C11H14O3·C6H6N2O [systematic name: butyl 4-hy-droxy-benzoate-isonicotinamide (1/1)], crystallizes with one mol-ecule of butyl-paraben (BPN) and one mol-ecule of isonicotinamide (ISN) in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, BPN and ISN mol-ecules form hydrogen-bonded (O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O) dimers of paired BPN and ISN mol-ecules. These dimers are further connected to each ot...
