The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H7N2+·C6H6NO3S-·C6H7NO3S·H2O, contains one 4-ammoniobenzenesulfonate zwitterion (+H3NC6H4SO3-), one 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anion (H2NC6H4SO3-), one 4-aminopyridinium cation and two half-molecules of water, each lying on a twofold rotation axis. The various ions and molecules in the structure are linked through N-H
O, N-H
N and N-H
S hydrogen bonds and C-H-
interactions into a three-dimensional framework.
Solutions of 4-aminopyridine and sulfanilic acid in ethanol were mixed in a molar ratio of 1:2. The solution was stirred well for 30 min and heated at 303 K for 2 h. Yellow crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation after a period of two weeks.
After checking their presence in a difference map, all H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å and N—H = 0.86 or 0.90 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. Experimental. The low-temperature data was collected with the Oxford Crysosystem Cobra low-temperature attachement. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

4-Aminopyridine (Fampridine) is used clinically in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and multiple sclerosis because by blocking potassium channels it prolongs the action potentials thereby increasing the transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction (Judge et al., 2006; Schwid et al., 1997; Strupp et al., 2004). The crystal structure of 4-aminopyridine has already been reported (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005). Sulfanilic acid (4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid or p-anilinesulfonic acid) readily forms diazo compounds and is used to make dyes and sulpha drugs. The crystal structure of monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs of sulfanilic acid monohydrate have been reported (Rae & Maslen, 1962; Banu & Golzar Hossain, 2006).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one 4-ammoniobenzenesulfonate zwitterion (+H3NC6H4SO3-), one 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anion (H2NC6H4SO3-), one 4-aminopyridinium cation and one-half of two water molecules both lying on a twofold rotation axis.
The bond lengths and angles of the 4-aminopyridinium cation agree with those previously reported (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005). A decrease in the C13—N4 bond length [1.326 (2) Å] is observed. Protonation of atom N3 of the 4-aminopyridine results in the widening of the C15—N3—C16 angle to 120.53 (15)° which is 115.25 (3)° in the neutral 4-aminopyridine molecule (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005). The pyridinium ring is essentially planar, with a maximium deviation of 0.007 (1) Å for atom C13.
The bond lengths and angles of the 4-ammoniobenzenesulfonate zwitterion 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anion are found to be essentially the same and agree with those reported earlier (Rae & Maslen, 1962; Banu & Golzar Hossain, 2006). The C9—C10—C11 [122.08 (14) Å] angle in the zwitterion is widened compared to the corresponding angle [C3—C4—C5 119.18 (14) Å] in the 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anion. The aromatic rings of the anion and zwitterion are found to be planar, with maximium deviations of 0.019 (2) and 0.010 (2) Å, respectively, for atoms C4 and C7. Within the asymmetric unit, pyridinium ring forms dihedral angles of 9.52 (9)° and 6.19 (9)°, respectively, with the C1—C6 and C7—C12 rings. The dihedral angle between the C1—C6 and C7—C12 rings is 5.29 (9)°.
In the crystal structure, the cations and anions/zwitterions are stacked into layers parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). All sulfonyl oxygen atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding with the amino group. The water molecules link the various ions into a three-dimensional framework. A π-π stacking interaction is observed between the pyridinium ring (C13—C17/N3) and the C1—C6 benzene ring of the anion, with a centroid to centroid distance of 3.737 (1) Å. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C12—H12A···π interactions involving the C7—C12 benzene ring of the zwitterion.
