Abstract

The title compound (systematic name: pyridinium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate), C5H6N+·C7H7O3S−, is the pyridinium salt of para-toluenesulfonic acid. In the crystal, classical N—H...O hydrogen bonds as well as C—H...O contacts connect the cationic and anionic entities into sheets lying parallel to the ab plane.
