Carbinoxaminium dipicrate.

In the dication of the title salt, C16H21ClN2O(2+)·2C6H2N3O7 (-) [systematic name: 2-{(4-chloro-phen-yl)[2-(di-methyl-aza-nium-yl)eth-oxy]meth-yl}pyridinium bis-(2,4,6-tri-nitro-phenolate), contains a carbinoxaminium dication and two picrate anions, which are held together through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the dication, the two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 80.1 (1)°.

2-[(2-Chloro-phen-yl)(hy-droxy)meth-yl]phenol.

In the title compound, C13H11ClO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 2-chloro-phenyl and phenol rings is 87.4 (9)°. The methyl hy-droxy group lies nearly perpendicular to the plane of its attached benzene ring [O-C-C-C torsion angle = 84.
