“…This is a salt where the OH groups of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol are ionized by proton transfer to one nitrogen atom (N(2)) of the naphthyridine moieties, which is also confirmed by the bond distance of O(1)AC(11) (1.256(3) Å) for phenolate (1.24 ± 0.01 Å) [24]. In this case the less basic nitrogen atom close to the methyl group is protonated which is similar to the published result [25], but it is different from the compound 1. In the compound, there is one ion pair without solvent molecules, which is well agreement with the micro-analysis results.…”
