title: 2-Amino-pyridinium trifluoro-acetate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(7)N(2) (+)·C(2)F(3)O(2) (-), contains four independent 2-amino-pyridinium cations and four independent trifluoro-acetate anions. In the crystal structure, these ions are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming four cation-anion pairs each containing an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif. The ion pairs are linked into two independent chains along [100] by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds and π⋯π inter-actions [centoid-centroid separation = 3.6007 (17) Å] are observed.
