Abstract
The title compound, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(3)S, is a strict pyridine analogue of nimesulide, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2. The structure is characterized by a pyridinium ring with a deprotonated sulfonamide group. An intermolecular charge-assisted hydrogen bond between these two groups is observed within the crystal packing, linking the molecules into an infinite chain running along the b-axis direction.
