The structure of the title salt, (C5H7N2)[Fe(C6H4O2)(C6H5O2)], consists of 3-amino-pyridinium cations and 1'-carb-oxy-ferrocene-1-carboxyl-ate monoanions. The ferrocenyl moiety of the anion adopts a typical sandwich structure, with Fe-C distances in the range 2.0270 (15)-2.0568 (17) Å. The anion possesses an eclipsed conformation, with the torsion angle φ (Csubst-Cpcent-Cpcent- Csubst) equal to 66.0°. The conformations of other 1'-carb-oxy-ferrocene-1-carboxyl-ate monoanions are compared and analyzed on the basis of literature data.
