2-Cyano-1-methylpyridinium nitrate

In the title compound, C7H7N2+·NO3−, all atoms except the methyl H atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. The interlayer distance, including that between aligned N atoms from alternating cations and anions in adjacent layers, is exceptionally short at 3.055&...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, C7H7N2+·NO3−, all atoms except the methyl H atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. The interlayer distance, including that between aligned N atoms from alternating cations and anions in adjacent layers, is exceptionally short at 3.055 (1) Å. Two-dimensional C—H...O hydrogen-bonded networks link cations to anions, while C—H...N interactions link cations within each layer. Anion–π interactions with the cations assist in binding the layers together.
