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 th ...[more]
