In the title compound, [K2(C7H3Cl2O2)2(H2O)]n, the potassium salt of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, the repeating unit in the polymeric structure consists of two identical irregular KO6Cl units related by twofold rotational symmetry, linked by a bridging water molecule lying on the twofold axis. The coordination polyhedron about the K+ ion comprises a carboxylate O atom and a Cl-atom donor from a bidentate chelate ligand interaction, four O-atom donors from a doubly bridging bidentate carboxylate O,O′-chelate interaction and the water molecule. A two-dimensional polymeric structure lying parallel to (100) is generated through a series of conjoined cyclic bridges between K+ ions and is stabilized by water–carboxylate O—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.

In the title p-toluenesulfonate salt of the drug dapsone, C12H13N2O2S+·C7H7O3S−, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the dapsone monocation is 70.19 (17)° and those between these rings and that of the p-toluenesulfonate anion are 72.34 (17) and 46.43 (17)°. All amine and aminium H atoms are involved in intermolecular N—HO hydrogen-bonding associations with sulfonyl O-atom acceptors as well as one of the sulfone O atoms, giving a three-dimensional structure.
