3,4-Diaminopyridinium hydrogen succinate

Abstract

In the title compound, C5H8N3+·C4H5O4−, the pyridine N atom of the 3,4-diaminopyridine molecule is protonated. The protonated N atom participates in an N—H...O hydrogen bond to a succinate O atom of the singly deprotonated succinate anion. Each of the two amino groups are hydrogen-bonded to the O atoms of two different sets of succinate groups.. The crystal structure is further stabilized by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
