In the crystal of the title compound, C8H8N42+·2I3-·2C8H6N4·2H2O, inversion centres are located at the centroids of the central C-C bonds of the cation and the bpym molecules, as well as at the central I atoms of both anions. Intermolecular O-H
N and N-H
O hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.
The title compound was unexpectedly obtained as a byproduct from the reaction of MnI2 (0.3086 g, 1.000 mmol) with 2,2'-bipyrimidine (0.1588 g, 1.004 mmol) in acetone (30 ml). After stirring of the reaction mixture for 3 h at room temperature and addition of pentane (30 ml), the formed precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with EtOH and ether, to give a brown powder (0.3621 g) (Ha, 2011). Single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from the brown filtrate.
H atoms at nitrogen were observed in the Fourier maps but were nevertheless as H atoms at carbon positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms [C—H = 0.95 Å (CH) or 0.88 Å (NH) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N)]. The H atoms of the solvent water molecules were located from the difference Fourier map then allowed to ride on their parent O atoms in the final cycles of refinement with O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The highest peak (1.29 e Å-3) and the deepest hole (-1.67 e Å-3) in the difference Fourier map are located 1.38 Å and 0.93 Å from the atoms I2 and I1, respectively.

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. |

The title compound, (C8H8N4)2+(I3-)2.2C8H6N4 × 2 H2O, consists of a diprotonated 2,2'-bipyrimidinium cation, two discrete I3- anions, two 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) and two water solvent molecules (Fig. 1). Single crystals of the compound were unexpectedly obtained as a byproduct from the reaction of MnI2 with 2,2'-bipyrimidine (Ha, 2011), and the structure is related to that of the compounds (C8H8N4)[ReCl6].2H2O (Kochel, 2005) and (C10H9N2)(I3) (Fialho De Assis et al., 1996).
The asymmetric unit contains one half of the formula unit. Inversion centres are located at the centroids of the central carbon carbon bond of the cation and the bpym molecules. Therefore the two pyrimidine rings in each moiety are exactly parallel. The central I atoms (I1 and I3) of the anions also occupy crystallographic inversion centres: the anions are linear and the I—I distances are almost equal. Intermolecular O—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal structure and the cation reveals short intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1). Moreover, there are weak intermolecular π-π interactions between pyrimidine rings, with a shortest ring centroid-centroid distance of 5.239 (6) Å.
