organic compounds
The crystal structure of the title compound, C12H21N2O2+.C7H5O2−, consists of an imidazo[1,2,3 − i,j][1,8]naphthyridinium cation and a benzoate anion, which are held together by two strong O-H
O hydrogen bonds with OO non-bonded contact distances of 2.642 (2) and 2.681 (2) Å, respectively. In the tricyclic cation, the imidazoline ring is almost planar, while the two six-membered rings are twisted and adopt deformed half-chair conformations. The benzoate anion is not perfectly planar, with the negative charge delocalized over the carboxylate group.
