Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H7N2 +·C7H4NO4 −·C7H5NO4, consists of an aminopyridinium cation, a 4-nitrobenzoate anion and a neutral 4-nitrobenzoic acid molecule. The pyridine ring forms dihedral angles of 64.70 (5)° and 70.37 (5)°, respectively, with the benzene rings of 4-nitrobenzoic acid and 4-nitrobenzoate. In the crystal structure, the cations, anions and the neutral 4-nitrobenzoic acid molecules are linked by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). Adjacent networks are cross-linked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances 3.6339 (6) and 3.6566 (6) Å].
