Comment top

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H12N22+.2ClO4-, consists of a 6,12-dihydrodipyrido[1,2-a:1',2'-d]pyrazinium dication and two perchlorate counter-anions (Fig. 1). In the dication, two pyridine rings are linked by two methylene groups and the bridgehead N atoms are disposed on the opposite side of the central six-membered ring which adopts an eclipsed boat conforamtion. The two methylene C atoms (C6 and C12) lie practically on the pyridine ring planes with the largest deviations 0.046 (6) Å (C6) and 0.023 (6) Å (C12) from the respective least-squares planes, and the dihedral angles between these planes is 44.8 (1)°. The geometry of the ClO4- anions is nearly tetrahedral with the O—Cl—O bond angles of 107.4 (2)°–112.5 (2)°, and the Cl—O bond distances are almost equal (1.416 (3)–1.426 (3) Å). The compound displays intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 2). There may also be weak intermolecular π-π interactions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 5.057 (2) Å.

Experimental top

Single crystals of the title compound were unexpectedly obtained as a byproduct of an attempted preparation of an Mn(II) complex by reacting 2-(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (0.99 g, 6.04 mmol), 1,6-diaminohexane (0.17 g, 1.46 mmol), NaOH (for adjustment of pH 7–8) and Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.37 g, 1.02 mmol) in EtOH (10 ml) and H2O (5 ml) for 2 h at 60 °C. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH3CN solution of the orange reaction product.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective carrier atoms [C—H = 0.93 (sp2) or 0.97 Å (sp3) and 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.
