Crystal structure of 2-aminopyridinium 6-chloronicotinate

In the title salt, C5H7N+�C6H3ClNO�, the 2-aminopyridinium cation interacts with the carboxylate group of the 6-chloronicotinate anion through a pair of independent N-H� � �O hydrogen bonds, forming an R2 2(8) ring motif. In the crystal, these dimeric units are connected further via N-H� � �O hydrog...

Description
Summary:In the title salt, C5H7N+�C6H3ClNO�, the 2-aminopyridinium cation interacts with the carboxylate group of the 6-chloronicotinate anion through a pair of independent N-H� � �O hydrogen bonds, forming an R2 2(8) ring motif. In the crystal, these dimeric units are connected further via N-H� � �O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001]. In addition, weak C-H� � �N and C-H� � �O hydrogen bonds, together with weak �-� interactions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6560 (5) and 3.6295 (5) A ° , connect the chains, forming a twodimensional network parallel to (100).
