The 6H9N2+·SO42−·H2O, contains two isomeric protonated aminomethylpyridine cations, a sulfate anion and a solvent water molecule. The cations are in the iminium tautomeric form. In the intermolecular O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network. Additional stabilization is provided by weak π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.758 (2) and 3.774 (1) Å.

2-Amino-3-methyl-pyridine, 2-amino-5-methyl-pyridine and sulfuric acid were mixed in molar ratio 1:1:1 and dissolved in sufficient water. The solution was stirred and heated until a clear solution resulted. Colourless crystals of (I) were formed by gradual evaporation of excess water over a period of one week at 293 K.
H atoms of the water molecule were located in a differnce Fourier map, and were refined independently with isotropic displacement parameters. Other H atom were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms at distances of 0.93 Å for aromatic C atoms, 0.86 Å for amido and 0.96 Å for methyl with isotropic displacement parameters 1.2 times Ueq of the parent atoms or 1.5 times Ueq for methyl C atoms.

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. |

We are not aware of any articles which report crystal structures containing different two pyridininium cations and a sulfate cation. We present the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), herein.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (I) is shown in Fig. 1. Protonation of atom N1 of the 2-amino-5-methyl-pyridine and N3 of 2-amino-3-methyl-pyridine cation results in a widening of the C1—N1—C5 and C7—N3—C11 angles. These values can be compared to those of 117.5 (3)° in neutral 2-amino-5-methyl-pyridine (Nahringbauer & Kvick, 1977) and 118.0 (2)° in neutral 2-amino-3-methyl-pyridine (Espenbetov et al., 1985). The C1-C5/N1 ring and C7-C11/N3 pyridinium rings are both essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of the rings of 0.024 (3)Å for atom N2 and 0.007 (3)Å for atom C9. The geometries of the two pyridinium rings are similar to those observed in other 2-aminopyridine structures (Luque et al., 1997; Jin et al., 2000,2001,2005) that are in the iminium tautomeric form (Inuzuka & Fujimoto, 1986,1990; Ishikawa et al., 2002).
In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···O, N-H···O and weak C-H···O hydrogen bonds link the components of the structure into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). Additional stabilization is provided by weak π–π stacking interactions with centroid to centroid distances of 3.758 (2) and 3.774 (1)Å.
