Abstract
1-Methyl-2-[4-phenyl-6-(pyridinium-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]pyridinium diperchlorate, C(22)H(19)N(3)(2+).2ClO(4)(-), (I), and 2-[4-(methoxyphenyl)-2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide, C(23)H(20)N(3)O(+).I(-), (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. In contrast with the monocharged molecule of (II), the doubly charged molecule of (I) contains an additional protonated pyridine ring. One of the two perchlorate counter-anions of (I) interacts with the cation of (I) via an N-H.O hydrogen bond. In (II), two molecules related by a centre of symmetry are connected by weak pi-pi interactions, forming dimers in the crystal structure.
