2-Amino-pyridinium 4-hydroxy-benzoate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(5)H(7)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(3) (-), the carboxyl-ate mean plane of the 4-hydroxy-benzoate anion is twisted by 8.78?(5)° from the attached ring. The cations and anions are linked via O-H?O, N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, ?-? inter-actions involving the benzene and pyridinium rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5500?(6) and 3.6594?(6)?Å, are observed.
