The 4-methylbenzoate anion of the title salt, C6H9N2+·C8H7O2−, is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 6.26 (10)° between the benzene ring and the carboxylate group. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N—HO hydrogen bonds with an R22(8) ring motif, forming an approximately planar ion pair with a dihedral angle of 9.63 (4)° between the pyridinium and benzene rings. The ion pairs are further connected via N—HO and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.

In the 5-chlorosalicylate anion of the title salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4ClO3−, an intramolecular O—HO 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 carboxylate O atoms via a pair of N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. The crystal structure also features N—HO and weak C—HO interactions, resulting in a layer parallel to (10-1).

The 4-chlorobenzoate anion of the title salt, C6H9N2+·C7H4ClO2−, is nearly planar with a dihedral angle of 5.14 (16)° between the benzene ring and the carboxylate group. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N—HO hydrogen bonds with an R22(8) ring motif. The ion pairs are further connected via N—HO and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure also features a π–π stacking interaction between the pyridinium and benzene rings with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7948 (9) Å.
