The title compound, C6H8N3+·Cl−, crystallizes with two formula units in the The cations are non-planar with the –C(NH2)2 groups twisted relative to the ring planes by 36.7 (3) and 37.8 (3)°. The cations are linked into chains through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the chains into a three-dimensional network.

To a solution of sodium methoxide (5.15 mmol) in methnol (50 ml) was added 3-cyanopyridine (5.2 g, 4.99 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Then ammonium chloride (2.9 g, 5.42 mmol) was slowly added to the resulting solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The resulting suspension was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure. Purification by washing with diethylether gave 3-amidinopyridine chloride (5.74 g, 94%) as an off-white solid. Block-shaped crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by recrystallization from from ethanol.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms (C—H = 0.93 Å, N-H = 0.86 Å) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,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. |

During the last decade, much interest has been focused on the synthesis of pyridine carboximidamidate derivatives because of their very potent antibacterial activities, interesting biological properties and applications in coordination chemistry.
The title compound is an organic salt which crystallizes with two formula units in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The molecules are nonplanar with the C(NH2)2 groups twisted out of the ring planes with the twist angles of 36.7 (3) ° and 37.8 (3) °. The bond lengths and angles in title compound are in the normal ranges comparable with those in the related structure (Fan et al., 2009).
In the crystal structure, pyridine-3-carboximidamidate cations are linked by N—H···N hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional supramolecular molecular chain (Fig. 2). Cl1 ion bridges two pyridine carboximidamidate cations through N—H···Cl hydrogen bonding and Cl2 ion triple-bridges three cations through N—H···Cl hydrogen bonding. Thus, one-dimensional chains of cations are linked by N—H···Cl interactions into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 3).
