Abstract
In the structure of the 1:1 proton-transfer compound of 4-methylpyridine (γ-picoline) with 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid, C6H8N+·C8H3Cl2O4 −·H2O, determined at 200 K, the 4,5-dichlorophthalate anions are bridged by the water molecule through O—H⋯Ocarboxyl hydrogen bonds, giving zigzag chains which extend along the c-axis direction. The 4-methylpyridinium cations are linked to the chains through single N—H⋯Owater hydrogen bonds and occupy the voids within the chains in the one-dimensional structure. The anions have the common ‘planar’ conformation with a short intramolecular O—H⋯Ocarboxyl hydrogen bond.
