2-{[N-(Pyridinium-2-ylmethyl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)pyridinium diperchlorate

L. M. D. Ariyananda and R. E. Norman

Abstract: The cation of the title salt, C₂₄H₂₅N₅²⁺·2ClO₄^-, contains a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine core in which one of the pyridine N atoms is protonated and a second pyridine N atom forms an additional C-N bond to another 2-pyridylmethyl group, resulting in a second pyridinium center. The protonated pyridinium hydrogen bonds to a pyridine ring of a neighboring dication. The hydrogen-bonded H atom is disordered between the two N atoms.
