Abstract: | The title compound, C6H8NO+·H2PO4−, consists of 2‐(hydroxymethyl)pyridinium and dihydrogenphosphate ions. The dihydrogenphosphate moieties are linked into chains by pairs of P—O—H⃛O—P hydrogen bonds. The 2‐(hydroxymethyl)pyridinium cations are connected to the dihydrogenphosphate units by O—H⃛O and N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds. Weak π–π interactions help to determine the interchain packing. |
