ABSTRACT
A new anomalous salt in 2:3 ratio of
2-aminopyridine and maleic acid was obtained. This salt,
2-aminopyridinium maleate maleic acid crystalllizes in
monoclinic C2/c space group. 2-Aminopyridinium maleate
maleic acid is isostructural to 2-amino 3-methyl pyridiniminium
maleate maleic acid and is the third complex crystallized from
2-aminopyridine and maleic acid in aqueous solution in a
different stochiometric ratio. This salt is stabilized by N-H. .
.O and O-H. . .O bydrogen bonds apart from p–p
interactions.
