Abstract: In the 4-methoxyquinoline-2-carboxylate anion of the title salt, C₅H₈N₃⁺·C₁₁H₈NO₃^-, the dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the carboxylate group is 16.54 (15)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N-HO and N-HN hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric 2 + 2 aggregate with R₂²(9) and R₄²(8) ring motifs. These units are further connected via N-HO hydrogen bonds into a layer parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by weak C-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions between pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5886 (8) Å] and between pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6328 (8) Å].
