In the title salt, C6H9N2+·C2F3O2−, the F atoms of the anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with refined occupancies in a ratio of 0.505 (17):0.495 (17). In the crystal, cations and anions are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R22(8) ring motifs. The ionic units are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100) by N—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

To a hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (54 mg, Aldrich) was added a few drops of trifluoroacetic acid. The solution was warmed over a heating magnetic stirrer hotplate for a few minutes. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly at room temperature and crystals of the title compound (I) appeared after a few days.
The F atoms of the anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancies of 0.505 (17):0.495 (17). Atoms H1N1, H1N2 and H2N2 were located in a difference Fourier maps and refined freely. The remaining hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H= 0.95–0.98 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H)=1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group.

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 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. |

Pyridine and its derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). They are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). Trifluoroacetic acid is a very strong carboxylic acid, easily volatile, and used for protein purification. An example of a crystal structure of a trifluoroacetate salts has been reported (Rodrigues et al., 2001). In order to study potential hydrogen bonding interactions the crystal structure determination of the title compound (I) was carried out.
The asymmetric unit (Fig. 1) contains one 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation and one trifluoroacetate anion. The F atoms of the anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancies of 0.505 (17) and 0.495 (17). In the 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation, a wider than normal angle [C1—N1—C5 = 122.77 (14)°] is subtended at the protonated N1 atom. The 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.016 (2) Å for atom N2. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal.
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the cations and anions are linked via N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form R22(8) ring motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The ionic units are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100) by N2—H1N2···O2i and C5—H5A···O1iii hydrogen bonds (symmetry codes in Table 1). The crystal structure is further stabilized by C3—H3A···F2ii hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional network.
