In the title compound, C12H10ClN2+·I-, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 54.55 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H
I and C-H
Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules.
For the preparation of the title compound, 1-aminopyridinium iodide (22.2 g, 0.10 mol) was dissolved in ethanol (20 ml), 4-methylbenzaldehyde (12.4 g, 0.1 mol) was added with stirring, and then the mixture was heated at reflux for 5 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, a precipitate formed, which was collected by filtration and washed with cold ethanol (2 X 10 ml) to obtain a yellow solid (yield; 24.0 g, 70%). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic and methine H and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

Some derivatives of 1-aminopyidium iodide are important chemical materials. We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges. Rings A (N1/C1-C5) and B (C7-C12) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of 54.55 (3)°.
In the crystal structure, intramolecular C-H···I and intermolecular C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules (Fig. 2), in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure. The π-π contacts between the pyridine rings and the benzene rings, Cg1—Cg1i and Cg2—Cg2ii [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, -y, -z; (ii) 1 - x, -y, 1 - z, where Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the rings A (N1/C1-C5) and B (C7-C12) , respectively] may further stabilize the structure, with centroid-centroid distances of 4.130 (3) Å and 4.056 (3) Å.
