title: 2-Amino-5-chloro-pyridinium nitrate.
abstract: The title structure, C(5)H(6)ClN(2) (+)·NO(3) (-), is held together by extensive hydrogen bonding between the NO(3) (-) ions and 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridinium H atoms. The cation-anion N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the ions into a zigzag- chain which develops parallel to the b axis. The structure may be compared with that of the related 2-amino-5-cyano-pyridinium nitrate.
