2-Amino-6-methyl-pyridinium 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonate.


ABSTRACT: In the asymmetric unit of the title salt, C6H9N2 (+)·C7H7O3S(-), there are two independent 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridinium cations and two independent 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonate anions. Both cations are protonated at their pyridine N atoms and their geometries reveal amine-imine tautomerism. In the 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonate anions, the carboxyl-ate groups are twisted out of the benzene ring planes by 88.4?(1) and 86.2?(2)°. In the crystal, the sulfonate O atoms of an anion inter-act with the protonated N atoms and the 2-amino groups of a cation 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 hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a-axis direction. Within the chains there are weak C-H?O hydrogen bonds present. In addition, aromatic ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.771?(2), 3.599?(2), 3.599?(2) and 3.497?(2)?Å] involving neighbouring chains are also observed.
