The title compound, C22H22FN3, exists as a zwitterion with the negative charge on the dicyanomethanide group and the positive charge on the pyridinium N atom. The molecule adopts a Z conformation about the central C=C bond. The dihedral angle between the pyridinium and benzene rings is 65.65 (5)°. Weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

Under anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions, to a 50 ml round-bottomed flask malononitrile (0.50 g, 7.4 mmol), sodium hydride (0.30 g, 60%, 7.5 mmol) and 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-pyridine-4-yl-acrylonitrile bromide salt (Hao, 2011) (1.0 g, 2.6 mmol) in 20 ml of THF were added at 0°C. After 30 min, the insoluble inorganic salt was removed by filtration, and the filtrate solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by
(flash, mixture of acetone and hexane with the ratio 1:1) to produce (I) (0.56 g, 63% yield). Orange-red crystals were obtained from a hexane/acetone solution of (I) by slow evaporation at room temperature.The H atoms attached to the carbon atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and were refined in the riding-model approximation with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C) for the others,

Structure determination of the title compound (I), C22H22FN3 (Fig. 1), was performed as a part of a project in our laboratory on the synthesis of new series of D+-π-A- zwitterionic chromophores for electro-optic and near infrared chemosensor applications (Hao, 2011; Hao et al., 2011).
The title compound (I) crystallizes as a zwitterion in which the negative charge on the dicyanomethanide (–C(CN)2) group and the positive charge on the N atom in the pyridinium ring. It presents a Z configuration of the central C7═C11 double bond with the torsion angle C12—C11—C7—C8 being -168.25 (17) °.
The bond length between C7 and C11 (1.3837 (19) Å) is similar to the value observed in other zwitterionic compounds (Metzger & Heimer, 1984; Bell et al., 2002), which clearly indicates the double bond π-bridge separating the pyridinium and dicyanomethanide groups. A significant displacement of electron density (or charge transfer)from the pyridinium ring (donor) to the –C(CN)2 group (acceptor) was confirmed, corresponding to a large contribution of the zwitterionic resonance structure in compound (I).
The bond lengths between C7 and C8 (1.4078 (20) Å), C7 and C11 (1.3837 (19) Å) suggest electron delocalization among the three carbon atoms. However, more single bond characteristic is observed between C7 and C8;also evident from the observed two C—CN bonds (1.4111 (22) Å and 1.4201 (23) Å) in compound (I) versus 1.427 Å in typical 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquino-dimethanes(TCNQs), indicating substantial negative charge localization within the –C(CN)2 group, and elongated CN (1.1514 (20) Å and 1.1472 (20) Å) bond compared to that in typical TCNQs (1.144 Å) (Allen et al., 1987) indicating a result of charge resonant stabilization via the two CN groups.
Although the bond lengths in the conjugated bridge and acceptor part clearly demonstrated a zwitterionic molecular structure of compound (I), the bond length of the pyridinium ring is quinoidal rather than aromatic. The C13—C14 and C15—C16 bonds (with bond lengths of 1.3516 (20) Å, 1.3491 (21) Å) are shorter than the C12—C13 and C12—C15 bonds (1.4088 (21) Å and 1.4125 (20) Å). Similar phenomena have also been reported for several TCNQ and 7,8-di(alkoxycarbonyl)-7,8- dicyanoquinodimethane zwitterionic adducts (Cole et al., 1997; Szablewski et al., 1997; Xiong et al., 2008). Therefore, the best description of the ground state structure of compound (I) is the combination of the two limiting forms (Fig. 3), zwitterionic and neutral forms with predominantly zwitterionic structure.
As shown in Fig.2, two types of weak intermolecular C–H..N hydrogen bonds connect adjacent molecules, forming a 2-D layer structure in the bc plane with the bond lengths and angles being 3.354 (3) Å, 150.77 (1) ° (C16—H16A···N1) and 3.535 (2) Å, 174.79 (1) ° (C3—H3A···N2).
