Abstract:
In the title salt, C(12)H(11)N(2)O(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(6)S(-), the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings in the 4-(4-nitro-benz-yl)pyridinium cation is 82.7 (2)°. Within the anion there is an intramolecular hydroxy-O-H⋯O(carboxylic acid) bond. In the crystal, the cation forms a single N(+)-H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen bond with the anion. These cation-anion pairs inter-act through duplex anion carb-oxy-lic acid O-H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen bonds, giving a centrosymmetric cyclic association [graph set R(2) (2)(16)]. The crystals studied were non-merohedrally twinned.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
