In the title compound, C6H7BrN+·C6H2N3O7−, the O atoms of two of the nitro groups are disordered over two sites, the ratios of the refined occupancies being 0.72 (6):0.28 (6) and 0.74 (5):0.26 (5). In the the anions and cations are linked via intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [100]. Further stabilization is provided by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Picric acid (0.6873 g, 3 mmol) and 3-Bromoaniline (0.5161 g, 3 mmol) were mixed in 10 ml ethanol. The mixture was kept at room temperature for ten days. Yellow block-shaped crystals suitable for the single-crystal X-ray diffraction were collected from the bottom of the vessel.
In the picrate anion two of the nitro groups oxygen atoms are disordered over two positions with refined occupancies 0.72 (6):0.28 (6) and 0.74 (5):0.26 (5) for O2/O3:O2'/O3' and O6/O7:O6'/O7', respectively.
The carbon-bound hydrogen atoms were placed in ideal positions with C—H=0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H1A, H1B and H1C atoms were located in a difference map and refined with the restraint of N—H = 0.86 (1)Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

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 interaction of picric acid and amines has been widely studied and salt formation takes place readily with very low activation energy. Ammonium salts are easy to crystallize and purify when picrate derivatives are present (Pascard et al.,1982;Wang et al.,2003; Pearson et al., 2007; Harrison et al., 2007). Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title compound, the proton has been transferred from the phenolic hydroxylic group to the amine group, resulting in an 1:1 organic salt (Fig.1). In the crystal structure, the molecular components are linked together by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming a one-dimensional chain running parallel to [100]. Adjacent chains are further linked by two weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (see Fig. 2).
