In the asymmetric unit of the title salt [systematic name: 2,4-diamino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-ethylpyrimidin-1-ium pyridine-3-sulfonate], C12H14N4Cl+·C5H4NSO3
−, there are two independent pyrimethaminium cations and two 3-pyridine sulfonate anions. Each sulfonate group interacts with the corresponding protonated pyrimidine ring through two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a cyclic hydrogen-bonded bimolecular R

2(8) motif. Even though the primary mode of association is the same, the next higher level of supramolecular architectures are different due to different hydrogen-bonded networks. In one of the independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, the pyrimethamine cation is paired centrosymmetrically through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating an R

2(8) ring motif. In the other molecule, the pyrimethamine cation does not form any base pairs; instead it forms hydrogen bonds with the 3-pyridine sulfonate anion. The structure is further stabilized by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯N and π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.9465 (13) Å] interactions.
The title molecular salt, consists of a sulfamethoxazolium (SMZ) cation and a 3,5-dinitrosalicylate (DNS) anion, which are linked by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework.
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.
