title: 2-Amino-5-methyl-pyridinium 2-hy-droxy-5-chloro-benzoate.
abstract: In the 5-chloro-salicylate anion of the title salt, C6H9N2(+)·C7H4ClO3(-), an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond with an S(6) graph-set motif is observed and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the -CO2 group is 1.6 (6)°. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxyl-ate O atoms via a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R2(2)(8) ring motif. The crystal structure also features N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, resulting in a layer parallel to (10-1).
