Supporting information
3-Aminopyridine (0.531 mmol), benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (0.531 mmol) and CH3OH (8 ml) were mixed and the resulting solution allowed to stand at room temperature. After two weeks, colorless crystals of the title compound were obtained (m.p. 498 K).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained using riding-model approximation C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso (H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). Hydrogen atoms bonded to O (H1) and N (H1A, H1B and H9) were located in difference Fourier maps. The coordinates of the O—H and N—H hydrogen atoms were refined with distance restraints: O—H = 0.86 (1) Å, N—H = 0.90 (1) Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(O, N).

Special details top 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 identification of supramolecular synthons between common functional groups is the first step towards crystal engineering. Specific recognition of the carboxylic acid group and pyridine (acid-pyridine synthon) (Aakeröy & Salmon, 2005; Almarsson & Zaworotko, 2004), or their analogs with proton transfer (Mohamed et al., 2009; Sarma et al., 2009), has been well studied. Both carboxylic acid and pyridine are popular substrates in supramolecular synthesis and herein we report the molecular and crystal structure of 3-aminopyridin-1-ium 3-carboxybenzoate.
The asymmetric unit consists of one 3-aminopyridin-1-ium cation (3AP+) and one 3-carboxybenzoate anion (3CB-), shown in Figure 1. The geometry of intermolecular interactions are given in Table 1. The 3CB- anion is almost planar with the carboxyl and carboxylate groups forming dihedral angles of 1.9 (4)° and 13.6 (4)°, respectively. A typical pyridinium-carboxylate R22(7) synthon is not observed in this organic salt as the pyridinium N9-H9 group forms a three-center interaction with the carboxylate O3 and O4 atoms acting as acceptors (Table 1). Two 3CB- anions are connected via a short O-H···O hydrogen bonds and the pairs of hydrogen bonded anions are bridged by the primary amino group forming two N-H···O hydrogen bonds. These three interactions generate R66(18) ring motif and a two-dimensional assembly parallel to (-1 0 2). Adjacent assemblies are connected by hydrogen bonds between the pyridinium N-H groups and the carboxylate groups into a three dimensional framework. This framework consists of stacks of alternating pairs of anions and cations exhibiting π-π stacking interactions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.676 (2)-3.711 (1) Å (Table 2). The π-π stacks are extending along [1 1 0] and [-1 1 0].
