Abstract:
In the title compound, C(5)H(8)N(3) (+)·C(7)H(4)NO(4) (-)·C(7)H(5)NO(4), the non-H atoms of the 3,4-diamino-pyridinium cation are coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.022 (1) Å. The carboxyl-ate and nitro groups of the 4-nitro-benzoate anion are twisted out of the attached ring planes by dihedral angles of 15.89 (8) and 10.20 (8)°, respectively. In the 4-nitro-benzoic acid mol-ecule, the carboxyl and nitro groups form dihedral angles of 18.25 (8) and 6.55 (8)°, respectively, with the benzene ring. In the crystal, the constituent units form two-dimensional networks parallel to (001) by O-H⋯O, N--H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak π-π inter-actions involving inversion-related 4-nitro-benzoic acid mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7325 (8) Å] and inversion-related 4-nitro-benzoate mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7124 (8) Å] are also observed.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
