Abstract: In the title hybrid salt, (C₅H₇N₂)[Cr(H₂O)₂(C₂O₄)₂], the Cr^III ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands in the equatorial plane and by two water O atoms in the axial sites. The 2-aminopyridinium cation is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.800 (7):0.200 (7) ratio. In the crystal, N-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds connect the components into a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with components in a ratio 0.75 (2):0.25 (2).
