In the title salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4NO4−, the nitro group of the 4-nitrobenzoate anion is twisted by 7.66 (10)° from the attached ring. In the the 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cations and 4-nitrobenzoate anions are linked via a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon-like structure along the c axis. The ribbons are crosslinked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (27 mg, Aldrich) and 4-nitrobenzoic acid (42 mg, Merck) were mixed and warmed over a heating magnetic stirrer for a few minutes. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly at room temperature and crystals of the title compound appeared after a few days.
The methyl H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.96Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The remaining H atoms were located in a difference map and refined freely [N–H = 0.85 (4)–0.94 (3) Å and C–H = 0.95 (3)–1.00 (3) Å]. In the absence of significant
effects, 2841 Friedel pairs were merged.Pyridine and its derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). Pyridine and its substituted derivatives are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). Since our aim is to study some interesting hydrogen-bonding interactions, the
of the title compound is presented here.The
of the title compound (Fig 1), contains a protonated 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation and a 4-nitrobenzoate anion. The 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.027 (1) Å for atom N3. The protonated N2 atom has lead to a slight increase in the C8—N2—C12 angle to 121.65 (14)°. In the 4-nitrobenzoate anion, the nitro group is twisted slightly from the ring with the dihedral angle between O3/O4/N1/C5 and C2-C7 planes being 7.66 (10)°. The bond lengths and angles are normal (Allen et al. 1987).In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the protonated N2 atom and 2-amino group (N3) is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of a R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al. 1995). Furthermore, the
is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.For substituted pyridines, see: Pozharski et al. (1997); Katritzky et al. (1996). For bond-length data, see: Allen et al. (1987). For details of hydrogen bonding, see: Jeffrey & Saenger (1991); Jeffrey (1997); Scheiner (1997). For hydrogen-bond motifs, see: Bernstein et al. (1995).

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) k. |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Pyridine and its derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). Pyridine and its substituted derivatives are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). Since our aim is to study some interesting hydrogen-bonding interactions, the crystal structure of the title compound is presented here.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig 1), contains a protonated 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation and a 4-nitrobenzoate anion. The 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.027 (1) Å for atom N3. The protonated N2 atom has lead to a slight increase in the C8—N2—C12 angle to 121.65 (14)°. In the 4-nitrobenzoate anion, the nitro group is twisted slightly from the ring with the dihedral angle between O3/O4/N1/C5 and C2-C7 planes being 7.66 (10)°. The bond lengths and angles are normal (Allen et al. 1987).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the protonated N2 atom and 2-amino group (N3) is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of a R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al. 1995). Furthermore, the crystal structure is stabilized by C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network.
