In the title cocrystal, C6H9N3O2·C7H7NO2, the 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine molecule interacts with the carboxyl group of the 4-aminobenzoic acid molecule through N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a cyclic hydrogen-bonded motif [R

2(8)]. This motif further self-organizes through N—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate an array of six hydrogen bonds with the rings having the graph-set notation R

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C6H10N3O2+·C7H5O3−, contains one 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidinium cation and a salicylate anion. The 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidinium cation interacts with the carboxylate group of the salicylate anion through a pair of nearly parallel N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. These motifs are centrosymmetrically paired via N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a complementary DDAA array. The typical intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond is observed in the anion. The salicylate ions form a hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular chain along the c axis via C—H...O hydrogen bonds involving a benzene hydrogen and one of the O atoms of the carboxylate group.
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.
