The solvothermal reaction of (PyH)[MoOBr4] (PyH+ = pyridinium cation, C5H5NH+) with squaric acid (H(2)Sq = 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione, H2C4O4) in pyridine has inadvertently afforded apart from a dinuclear molybdenum(V) complex with a coordinated squarato dianion another product, a simple pyridinium salt of hydrogen squarate, (PyH)(HSq) (HSq(-) = hydrogen squarate, HC4O4-). The salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2(1)/c with a = 10.1061(9) angstrom, a = 11.0436(10) angstrom, c = 7.4497(7) A and beta = 103.188(2)degrees. Its solid state structure consists of infinite chains made of HSq(-) ions linked via strong O-H center dot center dot center dot O- hydrogen bonds. The corresponding O center dot center dot center dot O contacts are 2.5604(13) angstrom. The countercations, protonated pyridine molecules, are attached to these chains via N+-H center dot center dot center dot O- hydrogen bonds. The X-ray structure analysis has revealed stacking arrangements of both ions with short interplanar spacings. Weak intermolecular interactions of the pi center dot center dot center dot pi type between ions of the same charge and of the C-H center dot center dot center dot O type between the oppositely charged ions were shown to play an important role in their packing.
