In the title compound, C6H9N2+·C7H4NO4−, the nitro group of the 4-nitro­benzoate anion is twisted by 6.2 (2)° from the attached ring. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are linked via strong N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Pyridine and its derivatives play important roles in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). They are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). We have recently reported the crystal structure of 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium 4-nitrobenzoate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010). In a continuation of our studies of pyridinium derivatives, the crystal structure of title compound is presented here.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig 1), contains a protonated 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation and a 4-nitrobenzoate anion. In the 4-nitrobenzoate anion, the nitro group is twisted slightly from the ring with the dihedral angle between O1/O2/N3/C9 and C7–C12 planes being 6.2 (2)°. In the 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation, a wide angle (122.0 (3)°) is subtended at the protonated N1 atom. The 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.015 (4)Å for atom C2. The bond lengths are normal (Allen et al., 1987).

In the crystal (Fig. 2), the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group (N2) are hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O3 and O4) via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming an R22(8) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). Bifurcated hydrogen bonds are observed between the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O3 & O4) and the protonated N atom to form a four-membered R12(4) hydrogen-bonded ring. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H···O (Table 1) hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.

Experimental top

A hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (27 mg, Aldrich) and 4-nitrobenzoic acid (42 mg, Merck) were mixed and warmed over a heating magnetic stirrer for a few minutes. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly at room temperature and crystals of the title compound appeared after a few days.

Refinement top

The methyl H atoms were positioned geometrically and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The remaining H atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely [N–H = 0.89 (4)–0.97 (4)Å and C–H = 0.89 (4)–0.98 (4)Å]. In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, 1641 Friedel pairs were merged.

Special details top

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) k.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
