Abstract: Unlike the previously reported salts of the 4-methylpyridinium cation and the bis(pyrocatecholato)borate anion [Clegg et al. (1998). Acta Cryst. C54, 1875-1880], the title compound, C₆H₈N⁺·C₁₂H₈BO₄^-·C₆H₆O₂, is a solvate containing a molecule of catechol. The crystal packing is influenced by N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
