Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₇H₇N₂⁺·I^-, the cations form inversion-related dimers via weak pairwise C-HN hydrogen bonds. In the dimers, the pyridinium rings are parallel to one another with their mean planes separated by a normal distance of ca 0.28 Å. Weak C-HN interactions between adjacent dimers generate a layer lying parallel to (10-1). The remaining H atoms form C-HI interactions, which link the layers into a three-dimensional structure.
