In the title compound, C11H10N3O4S+·C2Cl3O2−, the benzene ring forms an angle of 85.21 (13)° with the pyridinium ring. The nitro group is nearly coplanar with its attached benzene ring [dihedral angle = 3.68 (12)°]. In the strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the ion-pairs. The packing is further consolidated by weak C—H⋯O interations.

4-Nitro-(N-pyridyl)benzenesulfonamide was prepared by the method of Yu & Li (2007). Colourless blocks of (I) were grown by natural evaporation from a trichloroacetic acid solution of the amide.
The N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and their positions were freely refined. The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding atoms. The constraint Uĩso~(H) = 1.2 U~eq~(C and N) was applied.
The title compound, (I), comprises of a pyridinium cation and a trichloroacetate anion (Fig. 1). In the cation, the short C—N distance [N2—C1 = 1.390 (3) Å] occurs between typical C=N (1.34–1.38 Å) and C—N (1.47–1.50 Å) bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987), indicative of significant double-bond character, despite of a strong electron-withdrawing sulfonyl group. The benzene ring forms an angle of 85.21 (13)° with the pyridinium ring. The nitro group is nearly coplanar and make an acute angle of 3.68 (12)° with the connected benzene ring.
The cation and anion are connected by a strong N—H···O hydrogen bond and weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1) complete the structure. Two short intramolecular C—H···O contacts also arise in the cation.

Geometry. 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. |
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 > σ(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. |

The title compound, (I), comprises of a pyridinium cation and a trichloroacetate anion (Fig. 1). In the cation, the short C—N distance [N2—C1 = 1.390 (3) Å] occurs between typical C=N (1.34–1.38 Å) and C—N (1.47–1.50 Å) bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987), indicative of significant double-bond character, despite of a strong electron-withdrawing sulfonyl group. The benzene ring forms an angle of 85.21 (13)° with the pyridinium ring. The nitro group is nearly coplanar and make an acute angle of 3.68 (12)° with the connected benzene ring.
The cation and anion are connected by a strong N—H···O hydrogen bond and weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1) complete the structure. Two short intramolecular C—H···O contacts also arise in the cation.
