In the crystal structure of the title compound, C10H10N3+·Cl-·[P(O)(OH)2H], the chloride ion and phosphorous acid form a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain, while the 2-(2-pyridylamino)pyridinium cations form a second chain through [π]-[π] stacking. The two parallel chains are connected via a PO...H-N hydrogen bond and a weak pyridinium-to-chloride interaction.
