A hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (54 mg, Aldrich) and salicylic acid (69 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 colourless needles of (I) appeared after a few days.
Atoms H1A3, H1B3,H1NA, H2NA, H3NA, H1NB, H2NB, H3NB were located from a difference Fourier map and were refined freely [N–H= 0.90 (2)– 0.99(20 Å and O–H =0.94 (2)–0.99 (2) Å]. The remaining hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group.
There are numerous examples of 2-amino-substituted pyridine compounds in which the 2-aminopyridines act as neutral ligands (Navarro Ranninger et al., 1985; Luque et al., 1997; Qin et al., 1999) or as protonated cations (Luque et al., 1997; Jin et al., 2001; Albrecht et al., 2003). In order to study some hydrogen bonding interactions, the synthesis and structure of the title salt, (I), is presented here.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of two crystallographically independent 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cations (A and B) and two salicylate anions (A and B) (Fig. 1). Each 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.004 (1) Å for atom N1A in cation A and 0.006 (2) Å for atom C11B in cation B. In the cations, protonation at atoms N1A and N1B lead to a slight increase in the C9A—N1A—C10A [122.06 (14)°] and C9B—N1B—C10B [121.76 (13)°] angles compared to those observed in an unprotonated structure (Kvick & Noordik, 1977). The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the carboxylate groups of each salicylate anions interact with the corresponding 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cations via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming an R22(8) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). Furthermore, these motifs are connected via N—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab-plane. There is an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond in the salicylate anions, which generates an S(6) ring motif. In addition, weak C—H···O and π–π interactions are observed between the cation-anion pairs, [Cg1(N1A/C8A–C12A)& Cg4(C1A–C6A)] and [Cg2(N1B/C8B–C12B) & Cg3(C1B–C6B)], with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5691 (9) Å (1+x, y, z) and 3.6215 (9) Å (-1+x, y, z), respectively.

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 s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

There are numerous examples of 2-amino-substituted pyridine compounds in which the 2-aminopyridines act as neutral ligands (Navarro Ranninger et al., 1985; Luque et al., 1997; Qin et al., 1999) or as protonated cations (Luque et al., 1997; Jin et al., 2001; Albrecht et al., 2003). In order to study some hydrogen bonding interactions, the synthesis and structure of the title salt, (I), is presented here.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of two crystallographically independent 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cations (A and B) and two salicylate anions (A and B) (Fig. 1). Each 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cation is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.004 (1) Å for atom N1A in cation A and 0.006 (2) Å for atom C11B in cation B. In the cations, protonation at atoms N1A and N1B lead to a slight increase in the C9A—N1A—C10A [122.06 (14)°] and C9B—N1B—C10B [121.76 (13)°] angles compared to those observed in an unprotonated structure (Kvick & Noordik, 1977). The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the carboxylate groups of each salicylate anions interact with the corresponding 2-amino-4-methylpyridinium cations via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming an R22(8) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). Furthermore, these motifs are connected via N—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab-plane. There is an intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bond in the salicylate anions, which generates an S(6) ring motif. In addition, weak C—H···O and π–π interactions are observed between the cation-anion pairs, [Cg1(N1A/C8A–C12A)& Cg4(C1A–C6A)] and [Cg2(N1B/C8B–C12B) & Cg3(C1B–C6B)], with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5691 (9) Å (1+x, y, z) and 3.6215 (9) Å (-1+x, y, z), respectively.
