The title salt, (C18H26N2)[CdBr2.375Cl1.625], consists of non-interacting cations and tetrahedral cadmate(II) anions. The halogen atoms are all disordered, the bromine components being in 0.9035 (17):0.0965 (17), 0.6581 (18):0.3419 (18), 0.5019 (19):0.4981 (19) and 0.6847 (19):0.3153 (18) ratios. The aromatic rings of the cation are twisted by 25.0 (1)°.

1,1'-Dibutyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dibromide was synthesized by using a literature method (Hou et al., 2005). 1-Bromobutane (30 mmol, 4.11 g) and 4,4′-bipyridyl (10 mmol, 1.56 g) were dissolved in acetonitrile (20 ml). The solution was heated at 343–353 K for 48 h. The yellow precipitate that formed was collected and recrystallized from a methanol/ether mixture to give a white powder (4.2 g, 90% yield.)
A methanol solution (10 ml) of the dibromide salt (0.43 g, 1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of cadmium dichloride (0.184 g, 1.0 mmol) dissolved in an DMF/H2O (4:1) mixture (10 ml) to precipitiate a white solid. This dissolved when DMF was added. The solution was filtered and then set aside for the growth of colorless crystals (40% yield) after a week. The crystals are not soluble in common solvents.
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).Each halogen site is occupied by a mixture of chlorine and bromine atoms. For each site, the temperate factors for the major and minor occupants were restrained to be identical. As the total occupancy of the bromine atoms refined to nearly 2 3/8, the sum occupany was then fixed as exactly 2 3/8. The final difference Fourier had a peak at 1.83 Å from H2b and a hole at 0.88 ° from Cd1

The class of 1,1'-dialkyl-4,4'-bipyridinium bromides represents a class of ammonium salts that are excellent directing regents for the construction of metal–organic architectures. In a previous study, the reaction of a similar salt, 1,1'-(propane-1,3-diyl)dipyridinium dibromide, with cadmium dichloride, yielded the salt as a dibromidodichlorodocadmate; the halogen atoms are all disordered. In the present study, the reaction of 1,1'-dibutyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dibromide with cadmium dichloride yielded a similarly disordered cadmate counterion whose bromine:chloride ratio is 2.375:1.625 (Scheme I, Fig. 1).
