Abstract: The title compound, C₁₂H₉N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S^-, consists of a 1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cation and a 5-sulfosalicylate anion. Hydrogen bonds link the anions into a one-dimensional chain. Furthermore, hydrogen bonds between the NH groups of 1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cations and the sulfonate O atoms attach the cations to the one-dimensional chain.
