Abstract:
In the title hydrated salt, C15H16NO2 (+)·C6H4BrO3S(-)·H2O, the cation exists in an E conformation with respect to the ethenyl bond and is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 2.62 (12)° between the planes of the pyridinium and benzene rings. The meth-oxy substituent deviates slightly from the plane of its attached benzene ring [Cmeth-yl-O-C-C torsion angle = -11.6 (6)°]. In the crystal, the cations, anion and water mol-ecules are linked together into chains along [010] by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions. There is a short Br⋯O contact [3.029 (2) Å]. The crystal structure also features C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the benzene ring of the anion.

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...
