Each orientation of the cation forms two symmetry‐related two‐centre N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.588 (4) and 2.678 (4) Å, and N—H?O 177 and 171°] and two asymmetric, but planar, three‐centre N—H?(O)₂ hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.686 (4)–3.137 (4) Å and N—H?O 137–147°], and by means of these the cations link the anion/water chains into bilayers.

1‐Methyl‐4‐nitraminopyridinium nitrate and 4‐nitraminopyridinium methanesulfonate

In the title compounds, C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·NO₃^? and C₅­H₆­N₃­O₂⁺·­CH₃SO₃^?, respectively, the cations are almost planar; the twist of the nitr­amino group about the C—N and N—N bonds does not exceed 10°. The deviations from coplanarity are accounted for by intermolecular N—H?O interactions. The coplanarity of the NHNO₂ group and the phenyl ring leads to the deformation of the nitr­amino group. The C—N—N angle and one C—C—N angle at the junction of the phenyl ring and the nitr­amino group are increased from 120° by ca 6°, whereas the other junction C—C—N angle is decreased by ca 5°. Within the nitro group, the O—N—O angle is increased by ca 5° and one O—N—N angle is decreased by ca 5°, whereas the other O—N—N angle remains almost unchanged. The cations are connected to the anions by relatively strong N—H?O hydrogen bonds [shortest H?O separations 1.77 (2)–1.81 (3) Å] and much weaker C—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O separations 2.30 (2)–2.63 (3) Å].
