2-Amino-6-methyl-pyridinium 2,2,2-tri-chloro-acetate.


ABSTRACT: In the asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt, C6H9N2 (+)·C2Cl3O2 (-), there are two independent 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridinium cations and two independent tri-chloro-acetate anions. The pyridine N atom of the 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridine mol-ecule is protonated and the geometries of these cations reveal amine-imine tautomerism. Both protonated 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridinium cations are essentially planar [maximum deviations = 0.026?(2) and 0.012?(2)?Å]. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxyl-ate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming an R 2 (2)(8) ring motif. These motifs are connected via N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen bonds to form slabs parallel to (101).
