The title compound, C20H22N62+·2PF6−, was prepared by the reaction of 5,5′-bis(bromomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine with 1-methylimidazole. The main molecule lies on an inversion center located at the mid-point of the C—C bond joining the two pyridine rings. The therefore contains one half-molecule and one hexafluorophosphate anion. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and imidazole rings is 76.93 (7)°. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilization of the packing.

A mixture of 1-methylimidazole (0.150 g, 1.83 mmol) and 5,5'-bis(bromomethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (0.30 g, 0.88 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (15 ml) was stirred for 10 min and then heated at reflux for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, Et2O (15 ml) was added and 5,5'-bis((N-methylimidazolium-1-yl)methyl)-2,2'-bipyridine bis(chloride) obtained as a white precipitate was separated by filtration and washed with Et2O. For the
an excess of KPF6 was added to the aqueous solution of the chloride salts. After stirring for 1 hr, the title compound as a white precipitate was obtained. X–ray quality single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in acetonitrile at room temperature.All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic, d(C—H) = 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2<U>eq(C) for methylene, and d(C—H) = 0.98 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl protons.

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. |

The title compound was prepared for use as a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand in the formation of coordination polymers in line with similar previously reported compounds (Sambrook et al., 2006; Zang et al., 2010).
In the title compound (Scheme 1, Fig. 1), two pyridine rings are coplanar because the title compound lies on a crystallographic inversion center. The geomeries of the title compound are very similar with those of the previously reported compound (Moon et al., 2011) The dihedral angle between the pyridine and imidazole rings is 76.93 (7)°. All the bond lengths are within normal values (Allen et al., 1987).
The crystal packing (Fig. 2) is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···F hydrogen bonds (see, Table 1)
