The crystal structure of the title compound, C5H6ClN2+·H2PO4−, can be described as a stacking of 3‐amino‐2‐chloropyridinium cations and dihydrogenphosphate anions. As well as electrostatic van der Waals interactions, the component species interact by means of multiple hydrogen bonds. The H2PO4− units are linked into polymeric chains propagating along the c axis by way of O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The organic cations are anchored between planes parallel to ac, linking the chains into a three‐dimensional network.
In the title compound, C7H10N+·H2PO4
−·H3PO4, there is a clear distinction between the P—O/P=O and P—OH bond lengths. In the crystal, the H2PO4
− anions and H3PO4 molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to layers propagating in the bc plane. The organic cations are located between these layers and interact with them by way of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
The structure of the title compound, C7H9ClN+·H2PO4
−, contains inorganic layers built by (H2PO4)− anions and which are parallel to the ab planes around z = . 3-Chloro-2-methylanilinium cations are anchored between the inorganic layers through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Electrostatic and van der Waals interactions, as well as hydrogen bonds, maintain the structural cohesion.
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.
