Abstract: In the title compound, C7H5O2-·CH6N3+, the cation and anion lie on crystallographic mirror planes. The bond length in the deprotonated carboxyl group is intermediate between normal single and double Csp2=O bond lengths, indicating delocalization of the charge over both O atoms of the COO- group. Hydrogen bonds assemble the ions into layers in the bc plane.
