In the title salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4ClO2−, the 3-chlorobenzoate anion shows a whole-molecule disorder over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.505 (4):0.495 (4). In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric 2 + 2 aggregate with R22(8) and R42(8) ring motifs. The also features a π–π stacking interaction between the pyridinium rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.8339 (9) Å.

Hot methanol solutions (20 ml) of 2-amino-6-methylpyridine (54 mg, Aldrich) and 3-chlorobenzoic acid (39 mg, Merck) were mixed and 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.
N-bound H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [refined N—H distances: 0.94 (2), 0.88 (2) and 0.86 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å) and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). A rotating-group model was used for the methyl group. The whole 3-chlorobenzoate anion was disordered over two positions with a refined ratio of 0.505 (4):0.495 (4). For the disordred anion, bond-length restraints [Cl—C = 1.73 (1) Å and O—C = 1.23 (1) Å] and a SAME instruction were applied.

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). Related crystal structures of 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium 3-chlorobenzoate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010) and 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium 3-chlorobenzoate (Thanigaimani et al., 2012) have been reported. 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-6-methylpyridinium cation and one 3-chlorobenzoate anion. The proton transfers from the one of the carboxyl group oxygen atom (O1) to atom N1 of 2-amino-5-methylpyrimidine resulted in the widening of C1—N1—C5 angle of the pyridinium ring to 122.93 (13)°, compared to the corresponding angle of 118.43 (9)° in neutral 6-methylpyridin-2-amine (Draguta et al., 2012). The whole 3-chlorobenzoate anion is disordered over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.505 (4):0.495 (4). The 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.030 (2) Å for atom C4. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal.
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group (N2) are hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of intermolecular N1—H2N2···O1 and N2—H1N2···O2 hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995) ring motif. The motifs are centrosymmetrically paired via intermolecular N2—H1N1···O2i hydrogen bonds between the ions which form R42(8) ring motif, resulting in a DDAA array (where D is a hydrogen-bond donor and A is a hydrogen-bond acceptor) of quadruple hydrogen bonds (symmetry code in Table 1). The crystal structure is further stabilized by a π–π interaction between the pyridinium ring (Cg1 = N1/C1–C5) cations [Cg1···Cg1 = 3.8339 (9) Å; x, 1 - y, -1/2 - z].
