G. Smith, U. D. Wermuth and P. C. Healy

Abstract: The crystal structure of the proton-transfer compound from the reaction of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) with benzylamine (BA), viz. benzylammonium 3,5-dinitrosalicylate, C₇H₁₀N⁺·C₇H₃N₂O₇^-, shows a hydrogen-bonded polymer in which the protonated primary amine group of benzylamine gives a total of six inter-species interactions with O atoms of the DNSA anions. In addition, there are unusual centrosymmetric interactions between the carboxylate groups of the DNSA anions.
