4-Hydroxy-1,2,6-trimethylpyridinium chloride monohydrate

Abstract

In the crystal of the title hydrated molecular salt, C8H12NO+·Cl−·H2O, the water molecule makes two O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, generating [010] zigzag chains of alternating water molecules and chloride ions. The cation is bonded to the chain by an O—H...O hydrogen bond and two weak C—H...Cl interactions. Weak aromatic π–π stacking [centroid–centroid separation = 3.5175 (15) Å] occurs between the chains.
