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 proton ...[more]
