In the crystal structure of the title salt, C6H8N+·C7H5O3
−, the anions and cations are linked by classical N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The anions are connected by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers and further linked by classical O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Weak π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.740 (3) and 3.855 (3) Å] also occur. The dihedral angle between the CO2
− group and the benzene ring to which it is attached is 20.95 (8)°.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
