Notes:
2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHBQ) and 4,4′-bipyridine (BPY) crystallize in a 1:1 ratio as a neutral molecular adduct, C6H4O4·C10H8N2, in space group C2/c, with half of each molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecules are linked by a strong O—H...N hydrogen bond [O...N 2.6323 (15) Å] and a weak C—H...O hydrogen bond [C...O 3.2082 (17) Å] to form infinite stacks of parallel one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded ribbons. The two rings of the bipyridine are twisted at 28.3° with respect to each other, and the benzoquinone ring is inclined at an angle of 18.3° with respect to the plane of the neighbouring pyridine ring. The 4,4′-bipyridine molecule lies on a twofold axis and the benzoquinone molecule lies across an inversion centre.
