The structure of title compound, C(6)H(6)NO(2) (+)·HSO(4) (-), comprises discrete ions which are inter-conected by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to a neutral one-dimensional network along [001]. These hydrogen bonds appear to complement the Coulombic inter-action and help to stabilize the structure further.

All non-H atoms of the cation of the title salt, C(6)H(5)N(2) (+)·HSO(4) (-), are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] . In the crystal, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane. Weak π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyridine rings of neighbouring mol-ecules further...

In the title salt, C(7)H(8)N(3) (+)·HSO(4) (-), the benzimdazole ring system is planar [mean deviation 0.0086 (1) Å]. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions give rise to a layer motif.

-Putrefactive hydrogen sulfide production in the upper 4 cm of sediment in two small freshwater and eutrophic Southeast Michigan, U.S.A., lakes ranged from 0.13 to 1.51 with an average of 0.46 mg S l-~ day-~. Sulfate reductive production of hydrogen sulfide at the same sites ranged from 0.7 to 3.2 with an average of 1.54 mg S 1~ dayt. Putrefactive hydrogen sulfide production represented 5.1-53°...
