, chloranilate and piperidinium ions are connected by bifurcated N—H...O hydrogen bonds, giving a centrosymmetric chloranirate–piperidinium 1:2 unit. The 1:2 units are connected to each other by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a molecular ladder. There is a centre of symmetry at the centre of the anion ring.
