Bis(pyridin-2-ylmeth­yl)ammonium nitrate

In the title compound, C₁₂H₁₄N₃⁺·NO₃⁻, the mononitrate of protonated bis­(pyridin-2-ylmeth­yl)amine, the least-squares planes defined by the non-H atoms of the two aromatic moieties inter­sect at an angle of 7.91 (6)°. In the crystal, N—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds, as well as C—H...O contacts, connect the entities into a three-dimensional network. The shortest centroid–centroid distance between two aromatic systems is 3.7255 (8) Å and is apparent between the two different aromatic moieties.
