2,3-Diamino-pyridinium sorbate-sorbic acid (1/1).

ABSTRACT: In the title mol-ecular salt-adduct, C(5)H(8)N(3) (+)·C(6)H(7)O(2) (-)·C(6)H(8)O(2), the 2,3-diamino-pyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.013?(2)?Å, and is protanated at its pyridine N atom. The sorbate anion and sorbic acid mol-ecules exist in extended conformations. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and one of the two amino-group H atoms are hydrogen bonded to the sorbate anion through a pair of N-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming an R(1) (2)(6) ring motif. The carboxyl groups of the sorbic acid mol-ecules and the carboxyl-ate groups of the sorbate anions are connected via O-H?O hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the ion pairs and neutral mol-ecules are connected via inter-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets lying parallel to (100).
