Abstract
In the title mol-ecular salt, C5H12N(+)·C6H4NO3 (-), the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and the cation is protonated at the N atom. In the anion, the nitro group is twisted at an angle of 10.30 (11)° with respect to the attached benzene ring. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent anions and cations into infinite chains propagating along [100]. The chains are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming sheets lying parallel to (001).

Summary
Piperidine derivatives exhibit a broad-spectrum of biological activities such as anti-bacterial and anti-cancer (Parthiban et al, 2005). Nitro-aromatics are widely used either as materials or as intermediates in explosives, dyestuffs, pesticides and organic synthesis (Yan et al, 2006). We report on the synthesis and crystal structure of the title molecular salt, prepared by mixing piperidine with 4-nitrophenol
