Dinicotinium sulfate

S. Athimoolam and R. K. Rajaram

Abstract: In the title complex, 2C₆H₆NO₂⁺·SO₄^2-, the carboxyl groups of the two nicotinium cations (A and B) are twisted from the pyridinium ring, with dihedral angles of 9.1  (5) and 7.0  (9)°, respectively. Packing involves classical O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds. Cations A are interlinked through an O atom of the sulfate anion, forming an infinite chain running along the b axis and leading to cationic layers separated by a distance of 3.106  (4)  Å. Cations B form an inversion-related closed hydrogen-bonded loop.
