2-Amino-5-methylpyridinium nitrate

In the title salt, C6H9N2+·NO3−, the 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium cation and the nitrate anion are cyclically linked through pyridinium and amine N—H...O hydrogen bonds [graph set R43(12)]. These units are extended into a zigzag chain structure lying parallel to the a axis, through a second cyclic R22(8) association involving amine N—H...O and aromatic C—H...O hydrogen bonds to nitrate O-atom acceptors.
