2-Amino-3-(hy­droxy­meth­yl)pyridinium 2-benzoyl­benzoate monohydrate

摘要

In the title hydrated salt, C6H9N2O⁺·C14H9O3 ⁻·H2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the 2-benzoyl­benzoate anion is 82.04 (14)°, while the angles between the aromatic ring of the pyridinium cation and each of the benzene rings of the anion are 4.42 (14) and 82.04 (14)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network with R 2 ²(8), R 6 ⁶(16) and R 4 ⁴(6) motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by two π–π inter­actions, one between pyridinium rings, and another between the benzene benzoate and pyridinium rings of neighbouring mol­ecules, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.559 (2) and 3.606 (2) Å, respectively.
