Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(6)BrN(2) (+)·C(8)H(5)O(4) (-), consists of two crystallographically independent 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridinium cations (A and B) and two 2-carb-oxy-benzoate anions (A and B). Each 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridinium cation is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.047 (1) Å in cation A and 0.027 (1) Å in cation B. The 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridinium unit in cation A is inclined at dihedral angles of 4.9 (3) and 2.2 (3)° with the phenyl rings of the A and B 2-carb-oxy-benzoate anions, respectively. The corresponding angles for cation B are 3.0 (3) and 5.6 (3)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond,which generates an S(7) ring motif. The cations and anions are linked via inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. In the crystal packing, mol-ecules are linked into wave-like chains along [001] via adjacent ring motifs. Short inter-molecular distances between the phenyl and pyridine rings [3.613 (4) and 3.641 (4) Å] indicate the existence of π-π inter-actions. The crystal structure is a non-merohedral twin with a contribution of 0.271 (3) of the minor component.
