The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H7N2 (+.)I3 (-), consists of one 2-amino-pyridin-1-ium cation (apyH(+)) and one triiodide anion, both located in general postions. The apyH(+) cation is planar within the experimental uncertainties. The short N-C distance [1.328 (5) Å] of the exocyclic NH2 group is typical for the imino-form of protonated 2-amino-pyridines. Consequently, the bond lengths within the six-membered ring vary significantly. The geometric parameters of the triiodide anion a ...[more]
