In the title salt, C7H8N3+·BF4−, the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinium cation is planar [maximum deviation of 0.016 (2) Å for all non-H atoms]. The cation and anion constitute a tight ionic pair with an F⋯N [2.911 (4) Å] intermolecular attractive interaction. The ionic pairs form dimers via stacking interactions between inversion-related cations, the normal distance between the cation planes being 3.376 (5) Å. The dimers are packed in stacks along the a axis and linked via C—H⋯F hydrogen bond, forming a three-dimensional network.

The title compound was prepared according to the method of Ma et al. (Ma et al., 2008) and Wei et al. (Wei et al., 2009). A flame-dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a reflux condenser was charged with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (0.88 g, 6 mmol), 1-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine (0.55 g, 5 mmol), and chlorobenzene (20 ml). The mixture was then stirred for 30 min, followed by addition of trimethyl orthoformate (1.65 ml, 15 mmol). After being heated at 110 °C for 10 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was recrystallized from acetone to give 2-Methylpyrido[1,2-a][1,2,4]-triazol-2-ium tetrafluoroborate as colorless crystal in 88% yield.

Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray structural determination were grown by slow evaporation of a solution of the title compound in a petroleum ether/actone mixture (1:1, v/v) at room temperature.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93 (CH3) or 0.96 (CH) Å.
BF4- is a tetrahedral anion, the central boron atom is surrounded by four neighboring fluorine atoms. Consequently, the thermal movement of boron atom is limited, but not for the ending fluorine atoms. Therefore, the Ueq for the boron atom is low as compared to the neighboring fluorine atoms.
There are two relatively high positive peaks of 0.74 and 0.53 e/Å3 near the fluorine atoms of the BF4- anion that indicate a slight disorder of the anion. However, due to the low contribution of the second component it was neglected.
Recently, triazolium salts which can used as carbene precursors are widely using in organic catalysis for the formation of C—C bond reactions, such as benzoin reactions, Stetter reactions and Diels-Alder reactions (Fisher et al. 2006; Enders et al. 2006; Wurz et al. 2012), because of their good stability and excellent catalytic performance. Most research show that bicyclic 1,2,4-triazole carbene have excellent
because they have weaker nucleophility than that of thiazole and imidazole carbene.The
of the title compound shows that this salt containing the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion. The cation adopts the planar structure (r.m.s. deviation is 0.009 Å). The cation and anion constitute a tight ionic pair by the N···F (2.911 (4) Å) intermolecular attractive interaction. The ionic pairs form centrosymmetrical dimers via the intermolecular stacking interactions between cations (the distance between the cation planes within the dimer is 3.376 (5) Å). The dimers are packed in stacks along the a axis and linked into three-dimensional framework by the C—H···F hydrogen bonds.For catalytic applications of triazoliums, see: Fisher et al. (2006); Enders et al. (2006); Wurz et al. (2012). For the synthesis of a related compound and for related structures, see: Ma et al. (2008); Wei et al. (2009).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

Recently, triazolium salts which can used as carbene precursors are widely using in organic catalysis for the formation of C—C bond reactions, such as benzoin reactions, Stetter reactions and Diels-Alder reactions (Fisher et al. 2006; Enders et al. 2006; Wurz et al. 2012), because of their good stability and excellent catalytic performance. Most research show that bicyclic 1,2,4-triazole carbene have excellent catalytic activity because they have weaker nucleophility than that of thiazole and imidazole carbene.
The crystal structure of the title compound shows that this salt containing the 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion. The cation adopts the planar structure (r.m.s. deviation is 0.009 Å). The cation and anion constitute a tight ionic pair by the N···F (2.911 (4) Å) intermolecular attractive interaction. The ionic pairs form centrosymmetrical dimers via the intermolecular stacking interactions between cations (the distance between the cation planes within the dimer is 3.376 (5) Å). The dimers are packed in stacks along the a axis and linked into three-dimensional framework by the C—H···F hydrogen bonds.
