In the title compound, C18H16N+·C6H4BrO3S−, the cation exists in the E configuration and the whole molecule of the cation is disordered with a refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.733 (1):0.267 (1). The naphthalene system is not planar, the interplanar angle between the two aromatic rings being 5.0 (5)° for the major component and 5.7 (10)° for the minor component. The cation is twisted with dihedral angles between the pyridinium ring and the two aromatic rings of the naphthalene system of 56.3 (5) and 51.4 (5)° (for the major component) and 52.2 (11) and 53.4 (11)° (for the minor component). The pyridinium ring and the benzene ring of the anion are inclined to each other at interplanar angles of 85.0 (4) and 71.5 (9)° for the major and minor components, respectively. In the crystal packing, the cations and anions are alternately arranged with the cations stacked in an antiparallel manner along the c axis and the anions linked together into chains along the same direction. The cations are linked to the anions into chains along [102] by weak C—H⋯O interactions. The is further stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions and π–π contacts, with Cg⋯Cg distances of 3.502 (9) and 3.698 (6) Å. A short Br⋯O contact [3.029 (4) Å] is also present.

(E)-1-methyl-4-(2-(naphthalen-1-yl)vinyl)pyridinium iodide (compound A) was prepared by mixing solutions of 1,4-dimethylpyridinium iodide (2 g, 8.5 mmol), 1-naphthaldehyde (1.16 ml, 8.5 mmol) and piperidine 0.84 ml, 8.5 mmol) in methanol (40 ml). The resulting solution was refluxed for 3 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solid which formed was filtered and washed with chloroform. After purification, the yellow solid of compound A (0.22 g, 0.58 mmol) was mixed with silver 4-bromobenzenesulfonate (Chantrapromma et al., 2006) (0.20 g, 0.58 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) and stirred for 0.5 h. The precipitate of silver iodide was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give the title compound as a yellow solid. Yellow needle-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for x-ray
were recrystallized from methanol by slow evaporation at room temperature over a few weeks, Mp. 495-496 K.All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C-H) = 0.95 Å for aromatic and CH and 0.98 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.90 Å from C11A and the deepest hole is located at 0.32 Å from C11A. The cation is disordered over two sites with occupancies 0.733 (1) and 0.267 (1) respectively. All atoms of the minor component B were refined isotropically. Initially rigid, similarity restraints were applied to the minor component B. After a was reached, these restraints were removed before the final refinement.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Nonlinear optics has been recognized for several decades as a promising field with important applications in the domain of opto-electronics and photonics. Hence, a variety of materials have been investigated for their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. In order to obtain second-order NLO single crystals, the main requirements should be the choice of molecules with large hyperpolarizability (β) and the alignment of these molecules with optimal orientation into a noncentrosymmetric space group in the crystal. Organic crystals with extensive conjugated π systems with large hyperpolarizability which exhibit NLO properties have been reported (Dittrich et al., 2003; Ogawa et al., 2008; Weir et al., 2004; Yang et al., 2007). Styryl pyridinium derivatives are considered to be good conjugated π-systems (Cheng et al., 1991a, 1991b). We have previously synthesized and reported the crystal structures of several pyridinium salts (Chanawanno et al., 2008; Chantrapromma et al., 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) in order to study their NLO properties. The title compound (I) was synthesized by introducing a naphthalenyl group into the cation in order to increase the extent of π-conjugation in the system. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21 therefore it should exhibit second-order nonlinear optical properties.
Fig. 1 shows the asymmetric unit of (I) which consists of a C18H16N+ cation and a C6H4BrO3S- anion. The whole molecule of the cation is disordered over two sites; the major component A and the minor component B (Fig. 1 ), with the refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.733 (1)/0.267 (1). The cation exists in the E configuration with respect to the C11═C12 double bond. The naphthalenyl moiety is not planar as indicated by the interplanar angle between the two aromatic C1–C6 and C1/C6–C10 rings being 5.0 (5)° (for the major component A) and 5.7 (10)° (for the minor component B). The cation is twisted with the dihedral angle between the pyridinium and the two aromatic C1–C6 and C1/C6–C10 rings being 56.3 (5)° and 51.4 (5)°, respectively (for the major component A); 52.2 (11)° and 53.4 (11)°, respectively (for the minor component B) and the torsion angles C19–C10–C11–C12 = -26.5 (14)° and C11–C12–C13–C17 = -9.3 (15)° for the major component A; whereas the corresponding values are -6(2)° and 4(3)° for the minor component B. The cation and anion are inclined to each other with interplanar angles of 85.0 (4)° and 71.5 (9)° respectively between the benzene ring and the pyridinium units of the major and minor disorder components. The bond lengths in (I) are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those in related structures (Chanawanno et al., 2008; Chantrapromma et al., 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), all O atoms of the sulfonate group are involved in weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1). The cations and anions are alternately arranged with the cations (both the major A and minor B components) stacked in an antiparallel manner along the c axis and the anions linked together into chains along the same direction. The cations are linked to the anions into chains along the [1 0 2] direction by weak C—H···O interactions (Table 1). The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions (Table 1). π–π interaction with the distances Cg1···Cg2 = 3.698 (6) Å and Cg1···Cg3 = 3.502 (9) Å are also observed (symmetry code for both Cg···Cg interactions: 1-x, 1-y,-1/2+z); Cg1, Cg2, Cg3 and Cg4 are the centroids of the N1A/C13A–C17A, C1A–C6A, C1B–C6B and C19–C24 rings, respectively. A short Br1···O3 [3.029 (4) Å] contact is also present.
