2-Amino-5-bromo-pyridinium 2-hy-droxy-benzoate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(5)H(6)BrN(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(3) (-), the 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridinium cation and 2-hy-droxy-benzoate anion are essentially planar with maximum deviations of 0.020?(1) and 0.018?(2)?Å, respectively. The anion is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by N-H?O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along [010]. The chains contain R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The structure is further stabilized by ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.4908?(10) and 3.5927?(10)?Å] and also features short Br?O contacts [2.9671?(13)?Å].
