In the title molecular salt, C5H12N+·C6H4NO3−, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and the cation is protonated at the N atom. In the anion, the nitro group is twisted at an angle of 10.30 (11)° with respect to the attached benzene ring. In the crystal, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link adjacent anions and cations into infinite chains propagating along [100]. The chains are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming sheets lying parallel to (001).
The title molecular salt, C8H12N+·C4H3O4
−, crystallized with two independent cations and anions in the asymmetric unit. The ethanaminium side chains of the cations exhibit anti conformations [C—C—C—N torsion angles = 176.5 (3) and −179.4 (3)°]. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent anions and cations, and , O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent anions, generating sheets parallel to (001).
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.
