An intramolecular O¡ªH...O hydrogen bond occurs in the gallic acid molecule. The gallic acid and pyridine mean planes make a dihedral angle 12.6 (3)¡ã. Intermolecular O¡ªH...O and O¡ªH...N hydrogen bonding involving the hydroxy and carboxyl groups and the pyridine molecule, and ¦Ð¨C¦Ð interactions between inversion-related pyridines [centroid¨Ccentroid distance = 3.459 (6) ] and between pyridine and benzene rings [centroid¨Ccentroid distance = 3.548 (6) ], lead to a three-dimensional network in the crystal. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536811043868
