In the title salt, C17H19N4+·PF6, the two pyridine rings of the cation are inclined to one another by 15.89 (8)°, and inclined to the imidazole ring by 65.05 (10) and 64.07 (10)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via a series of C—H⋯N and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (001).

N,N'-Disubstituted imidazolium salts are of importance because stable and isolable N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) can be easily prepared by deprotonation of the imidazolium salts with a strong base. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been a topic of extensive research due to their practical applications in many catalytic processes, e.g., Pd–catalysed Heck–, Suzuki–coupling and Ru-based Grubbs catalyses (Frenzel et al., 1999; Enders et al., 1996; Scholl et al., 1999). We previously synthesized an N,N'-disubstituted imidazolium salt, 1,3-bis[(6-methyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]imidazolium bromide, and reported its crystal structure (Kim et al., 2009)). The title compound was obtained by the anion exchange of the C17H19N4+ Br- with NH4PF6. Here we report the crystal structure of the title compound,1,3-bis[(6-methyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (Fig. 1).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists the C17H9N4 cation and PF6 anion. Each of two 6–methylpyridine rings is rotated out of the imidazole plane, with dihedral angle of N1/C2–C6 of 55.83 (9)° and N4/C12–C16 of 11.32 (9)°. The molecular packing is stabilized by four different intermolecular C—H···F hydrogen bonds in the structure. (Table 1 & Fig. 2).

Synthesis of 1,3-Bis[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate: A mixture of 1,3-Bis[(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazolium bromide (Kim et al., 2009). (2.16 g, 6.01 x 10–3 mol) and NH4PF6 (0.980 g, 6.01 x 10–3 mol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (35 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 19 h. After the solution was filtered the solvent were removed by high-vacuum rotary evaporation. The filtrate was dried under the reduced pressure to afford a brown solid in 95% yield. Single crystals were obtained by Et2O diffusion into a CHCl3 solution of the compound.

Special details top

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.
