S. R. Jebas and T. Balasubramanian

Abstract: In the title compound, C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₇H₄NO₄^-, the asymmetric unit consists of an aminopyridinium cation and a p-nitrobenzoate anion, with proton transfer occurring to the aromatic N atom of the 2-aminopyridine molecule. In the crystal structure, the two ions are interconnected by N-HO hydrogen bonds.
