The 7H10N+·Br−, comprises two 2,6-dimethylpyridinium cations and two bromide anions. One cation and one anion are situated in general positions, while the other cation and the other anion lie on a crystallographic mirror plane parallel to (010). Each pair of ions interact via N—H⋯Br and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonding, generating motifs depending on the cation and anion involved. Thus, the cation and the anion on the mirror plane generate infinite chains along the c axis, while the other ionic pair leads to sheets parallel to the ac plane. In the overall crystal packing, both motifs alternate along the b axis, with a single layer of the chain motif sandwiched between two double layers of the sheet motif. The sheets and chains are further connected via aryl π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.690 (2) and 3.714 (2) Å], giving a three-dimensional network.

In an attempt to crystallize a tetrahalomercurate with the 2,6-dimethylpyridinium cation, the title compound crystallized instead. To a warm solution of 2,6-Dimethylpyridine (1 mmol) and 1 ml 60% HBr dissolved in 95% EtOH (10 ml), a hot solution of HgCl2 (1 mmol) dissolved in 95% EtOH (10 ml) was added. The resulting mixture was then treated with Br2 (2–3 ml) and refluxed for 3 hrs. The resulting mixture was left undisturbed to evaporate at room temperature whereupon colorless block crystals are formed after three days.
All hydrogen atoms constrained and assigned isotropic thermal parameters of 1.2 times that of the riding atoms (1.5 for methyl). Largest diff. peak and hole were 0.478 and -0.478 e.Å-3 with largest peak 1.035 Å from Br1.
Non-covalent interactions play an important role in organizing structural units in both natural and artificial systems (Desiraju, 1997). They exercise important effects on the organization and properties of many materials in areas such as biology (Hunter, 1994), crystal engineering (Allen et al., 1997, Dolling et al., 2001) and material science (Panunto et al., 1987, Robinson et al., 2000). The interactions governing the crystal organization are expected to affect the packing and then the specific properties of solids. We herein report the structure of the salt, 2,6-dimethylpyridinium with the bromide anion, along with its crystal packing.
The
of title salt comprises two 2,6-dimethylpyridinium (hereafter 2,6-dmpH) cation: A (containing N1/C1/C2/C3/C4/C5) and B (containing N2/C8/C9/C10/C11/C12), and two bromide anions (Br1 and Br2), Fig. 1. Cation A as well as the anion Br2 are situated in general positions; while cation B, as well as the Br1 bromide anion are lying on a mirror plane parallel to (010). Both cations having almost identical geometrical parameters, and fall within the range expected (Allen et al., 1987, Ahmadi et al., 2008, Amani et al., 2008, Jin et al., 2003, Nuss et al., 2005, Jin et al., 2006). When compared to pyridine, the C–N–C angles (124.1 (3) and 123.7 (4)° in cations A and B, respectively) in the title compound are widened. This is in good agreement with other reported salts of 2,6-dmpH with different anions, such as the dichromate [124.6 (3)°; (Jin et al., 2006)], the chloride [124.1 (1)°; (Nuss et al., 2005)], the nitrate [124.90 (13)°; (Jin et al., 2003)], the hydrogen phthalate [128.83 (2)°; (Jin et al., 2000)] and the hydrogen fumarate [123.9 (2)°; (Pan et al., 2001)].The
of title salt present a supramolecular network, where a complex strong hydrogen-bonding scheme operates between the cations and the anions (Table 1). The 2,6-dmpH (N and C atoms) act as donors, with the Br atoms the acceptors. The supramolecular hydrogen-bonding N–H···Br and C–H···Br synthons are shown in Figures 2 and 3. These hydrogen bonds connect the cations type A and Br2 anions into sheets parallel to the ac plane, Fig. 2. Within each sheet the cations and anions might be considered as packed in a pseudo three-fold arrangement (each cation is connected to three surrounding anions and each anion is connected to three surrounding cations) that extends in the ac plane, Fig. 2. On the other hand, cations type B with Br1 anions are forming infinite chains along the c crystallographic axis, via N2-H2A···Br1···H9-C9 hydrogen bonding, in which each Br1 anions linking two cations through double H···Br···H interactions, Fig. 3.The overall packing can be describes as of the sandwich type, in which double layers of the sheet type motif formed by cations A and Br2 anions moieties, alternate with single layers of the chains motif type formed by cations B and Br1 anions moieties down the b axis, Fig. 4. Both packing motifs interact through offset-face-to-face aryl···aryl interactions with centroids distances of 3.690 Å for A(Cg)···B(Cg) and 3.712 Å for A(Cg)···A(Cg) (1 - x, 1 - y, -z), giving a three-dimensional network. These separation distances are in accordance with those of calculated and the experimentally observed stacked (offset-face-to-face) interaction modes (Gould et al., 1985, Hunter & Sanders, 1990, Hunter, 1994, Singh & Thornton, 1990).

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. |

Non-covalent interactions play an important role in organizing structural units in both natural and artificial systems (Desiraju, 1997). They exercise important effects on the organization and properties of many materials in areas such as biology (Hunter, 1994), crystal engineering (Allen et al., 1997, Dolling et al., 2001) and material science (Panunto et al., 1987, Robinson et al., 2000). The interactions governing the crystal organization are expected to affect the packing and then the specific properties of solids. We herein report the structure of the salt, 2,6-dimethylpyridinium with the bromide anion, along with its crystal packing.
The asymmetric unit of title salt comprises two 2,6-dimethylpyridinium (hereafter 2,6-dmpH) cation: A (containing N1/C1/C2/C3/C4/C5) and B (containing N2/C8/C9/C10/C11/C12), and two bromide anions (Br1 and Br2), Fig. 1. Cation A as well as the anion Br2 are situated in general positions; while cation B, as well as the Br1 bromide anion are lying on a mirror plane parallel to (010). Both cations having almost identical geometrical parameters, and fall within the range expected (Allen et al., 1987, Ahmadi et al., 2008, Amani et al., 2008, Jin et al., 2003, Nuss et al., 2005, Jin et al., 2006). When compared to pyridine, the C–N–C angles (124.1 (3) and 123.7 (4)° in cations A and B, respectively) in the title compound are widened. This is in good agreement with other reported salts of 2,6-dmpH with different anions, such as the dichromate [124.6 (3)°; (Jin et al., 2006)], the chloride [124.1 (1)°; (Nuss et al., 2005)], the nitrate [124.90 (13)°; (Jin et al., 2003)], the hydrogen phthalate [128.83 (2)°; (Jin et al., 2000)] and the hydrogen fumarate [123.9 (2)°; (Pan et al., 2001)].
The crystal structure of title salt present a supramolecular network, where a complex strong hydrogen-bonding scheme operates between the cations and the anions (Table 1). The 2,6-dmpH (N and C atoms) act as donors, with the Br atoms the acceptors. The supramolecular hydrogen-bonding N–H···Br and C–H···Br synthons are shown in Figures 2 and 3. These hydrogen bonds connect the cations type A and Br2 anions into sheets parallel to the ac plane, Fig. 2. Within each sheet the cations and anions might be considered as packed in a pseudo three-fold arrangement (each cation is connected to three surrounding anions and each anion is connected to three surrounding cations) that extends in the ac plane, Fig. 2. On the other hand, cations type B with Br1 anions are forming infinite chains along the c crystallographic axis, via N2-H2A···Br1···H9-C9 hydrogen bonding, in which each Br1 anions linking two cations through double H···Br···H interactions, Fig. 3.
The overall packing can be describes as of the sandwich type, in which double layers of the sheet type motif formed by cations A and Br2 anions moieties, alternate with single layers of the chains motif type formed by cations B and Br1 anions moieties down the b axis, Fig. 4. Both packing motifs interact through offset-face-to-face aryl···aryl interactions with centroids distances of 3.690 Å for A(Cg)···B(Cg) and 3.712 Å for A(Cg)···A(Cg) (1 - x, 1 - y, -z), giving a three-dimensional network. These separation distances are in accordance with those of calculated and the experimentally observed stacked (offset-face-to-face) interaction modes (Gould et al., 1985, Hunter & Sanders, 1990, Hunter, 1994, Singh & Thornton, 1990).
