2,3-Diaminopyridinium 4-nitrobenzoate

K. Balasubramani and H.-K. Fun

Abstract: In the title salt, C5H8N3+·C7H4NO4-, the pyridine N atom of the 2,3-diaminopyridine molecule is protonated. The protonated N atom and one of the two 2-amino groups are hydrogen bonded to the 4-nitrobenzoate anion through a pair of N-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. The carboxylate mean plane of the 4-nitrobenzoate anion is twisted by 3.77 (5)° from the attached ring and the nitro group is similarly twisted by 2.28 (10)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by N-H...O and C-H...O interactions into sheets parallel to (100).
