TY - JOUR A1 - Ton, Quoc-Cuong A1 - Bolte, Michael T1 - Intra- and intermolecular proton transfer in 2,6-diaminopyridinium 4-hydroxypyridin-1-ium-2,6-dicarboxylate T2 - Acta crystallographica / Section E, Structure reports online N2 - Chelidamic acid (4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) and 2,6-diaminopyridine react to form the title salt, C5H8N3+·C7H4NO5-; there are two formula units in the asymmetric unit. The pyridine N atom of 2,6-diaminopyridine is protonated whereas chelidamic acid is deprotonated at both carboxylate groups but protonated at the N atom; the reaction involves intra- and intermolecular proton transfer. In the crystal, each 2,6-diaminopyridinium cation participates in five strong N-H...O hydrogen bonds (including one bifurcated hydrogen bond). The crystal structure also features strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds between the chelidamate anions, leading to chains along the a axis.
