In the title compound, C20H21N2+.I-·1.5H2O, the cation exists in the E configuration and is not planar. The dihedral angle between the quinolinium and dimethylaminophenyl rings is 9.26 (6)°. The O atom of one of the solvent water molecules lies on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal structure, the cations form one-dimensional zigzag chains along the [001] direction. The cations are linked to water molecules and iodide ions through weak C-H
O and C-H
I interactions, respectively. Water molecules and iodide ions form O-H
O and O-H
I hydrogen bonds, which stabilize the crystal structure. A C-H
interaction is also present.
The title compound was synthesized by mixing a 1:1:1 molar ratio solution of 1,2-dimethylquinolinium iodide (2.00 g, 7.01 mmol), dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (1.05 g, 7.01 mmol) and piperidine (0.70 g, 7.01 mmol) in hot methanol (50 ml). The resulting solution was refluxed for 6 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting solid was filtered off, washed with methanol and recrystallized from methanol to give green crystals. Single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray structure determination were recrystalized from methanol/ethanol solvent (1:1 v/v) by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature after a few weeks. (Mp. 491–493 K).
Water hydrogen atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. H atoms attached to C were placed in calculated positions with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and CH, 0.96 Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3 atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.57 Å from I1 and the deepest hole is located at 0.46 Å from I1.

Experimental. The low-temparture data was collected with the Oxford Cryosystem Cobra low-temperature attachment. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Organic molecules with large π systems have been extensively used in attempts to obtain non-linear optical (NLO) materials (Chia et al., 1995; Dittrich et al., 2003; Marder et al., 1994; Nogi et al., 2000; Otero et al., 2002; Pan et al., 1996; Sato et al., 1999). We have previously synthesized and crystallized several ionic organic salts of quinolinium derivatives which have a conjugate π system to study their non-linear optical properties (Chantrapromma et al., 2006; 2007a; 2007b; 2007c; 2007d; Jindawong et al., 2005). Previous investigations by Marder et al., 1994, Pan et al., 1996 and Umezawa et al., 2000 reported that 1-methyl-4-(2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)ethenyl)pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (DAST) is a promising second-order NLO material. Based on this information and our previous investigation (Chantrapromma et al., 2007c), we have designed and synthesized the title compound (I) with the replacement of the 3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl ring in the cation of 2-[(E)-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylquinolinium iodide monohydrate which showed second-order NLO properties (Chantrapromma et al., 2007c) by the 4-dimethylaminophenyl ring and its crystal structure was reported here. However since second-order NLO effects are created only when chromophores are arranged in a non-centrosymmetric manner, the title compound, which crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c, does not exhibit any second-order NLO properties.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one C20H21N2+ cation, one I- anion and 1.5 H2O molecules. The remaining cell contents are generated by symmetry with the O2W atom (symmetry code: -x, y, 1/2 - z) lying on a two-fold rotation axis. The cation exists in the E configuration with respect to the C10═C11 double bond [1.357 (2) Å] and is not planar as indicated by a dihedral angle of 9.26 (6)° between the quinolinium and the dimethylaminophenyl rings. This value is relatively wider than the corresponding angle (3.41 (7)°) reported for the closely related structure of the 4-methoxybenzenesulfonate salt of the same cation (Kobkeatthawin et al., 2008). This may be due to packing effects involving the different counterions. The orientation of the ethenyl unit with respect to the quinolinium and the dimethylaminophenyl rings can be indicated by the torsion angles C8–C9–C10–C11 = 8.5 (2)° and C10–C11–C12–C17 = -1.2 (2)°. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable to those in closely related structures (Chantrapromma et al., 2006; 2007a; 2007b; 2007c; Kobkeatthawin et al., 2008).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the cations form one-dimensional zigzag chains along the [0 0 1] direction. Water molecules contribute to an O2W—H1W2···O1W hydrogen bond. The cations are linked to water molecules and iodide ions through weak C—H···O and C—H···I interactions respectively (Table 1). Water molecules and iodide ions are interconnected by O—H···I hydrogen bonds (O1W—H1W1···I1 and O1W—H2W1···I1 symmetry codes: -x, y, 1/2 - z and x, 1 - y, -1/2 + z, respectively). The crystal is further stabilized by O—H···O and O—H···I hydrogen bonds together with weak C—H···O and C—H···I interactions. A C2—H2A···π interaction to the dimethylaminophenyl ring [C12–C17] was also observed: C2—H2A = 0.93; H2A···Cgi = 3.0219; C2—Cg1i = 3.7648 (17) Å; C2—H2A···Cg1i = 138°. [Cg1i is the centroid of the C12–C17 ring (symmetry code: (i): x, 1 - y, -1/2 + z)].
