Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray crystal structure analysis were obtained by slow crystallization of the yellow–green reaction mixture containing copper(II) sulfate (0.0926 g CuSO4·5H2O, 0.37 mmol), 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (0.2811 g, 0.74 mmol) and nicotinamide (0.186 g, 1.52 mmol) in water solution (50 ml) in an Erlenmayer flask at room temperature for three months.
The O atom of the hydroxide group is disordered, occupying two statistic positions represented by O3 and O3' with occupancy factors of 0.758 (5) and 0.242 (5), respectively. Atom O3 was refined anisotropically and O3' isotropically. The crystal structure of the title compound was also recalculated by two other ways. For atom O3 (anisotropic refinement) in a single position, R1 = 0.0707 for 1631 reflections and Δρmax = 1.58 e Å−3. For statistically distributed atom O3 (isotropically refined), R1 and Δρmax were 0.0444 and 0.43 e Å−3, respectively. The H atoms were placed in calculated positions, except for H3, which was located from a difference Fourier map.

As part of our study of new copper(II) complexes with 3,5-dinitrosalicylate anions and nicotinamide, the title compound, (I), was prepared. Later, the same compound were also prepared by reaction of nicotinamide with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid in water solution. To our knowledge, salt formation is typical for 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, e.g. with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (Smith et al., 1996) or even with different aminobenzoic acids (Smith et al., 1995).
Neighbouring protonated molecules of nicotinamide and 3,5-dinitrosalicylate anions form dimers via hydrogen bonds N4—H41···O1iv (see Table 2). Additional hydrogen bonds are formed by the amide H atoms of the nicotinamide cation and by the O atom of the nitro groups of the salicylate anion (Table 2). Atom H3 forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with atoms O2 and O3. Atom O3 is statistically distributed between two positions.
