The 12H14N22+·2C7H3N2O6−, comprises half a 4-[2-(pyridin-1-ium-4-yl)ethyl]pyridin-1-ium dication, being disposed about a centre of inversion, and a 2,6-dinitrobenzoate anion, in a general position. In the anion, the carboxylate group is inclined to the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 85.45 (9)°], whereas near-coplanar and twisted arrangements are found for the nitro groups [O—N—C—C torsion angles = 179.80 (14) and 20.2 (2)°]. In the crystal, three-component aggregates sustained by charge-assisted N+—H⋯O− hydrogen bonds are found and these are consolidated into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯O and π–π [inter-centroid distances = 3.6796 (14) and 3.7064 (14) Å] interactions.

Crystals of (I) were obtained by the co-crystallization of 4,4'-bipyridylethane (Sigma Aldrich, 0.11 mmol) and 2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, 0.22 mmol) in methanol solution. Colourless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation. Melting point: 425–431 K. IR spectra (cm-1): 744(w), 849(s)(sh), 915(m), 1340(m), 1505(m), 1529(s), 1628(m)(sh), 1673(w), 3086(w)(br).
The C-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C). The N-bound H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a distance restraint of N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).Data collection: CrystalClear (Molecular Structure Corporation & Rigaku, 2005); cell

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 > 2σ(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 salt, (I), was isolated as part of studies investigating the co-crystallization of 2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid and different pyridyl derivatives (Arman et al., 2013).
The asymmetric unit of (I) comprises half of a 4-[2-(pyridin-1-ium-4-yl)ethyl]pyridin-1-ium dication, disposed about a centre of inversion, and a 2,6-dinitrobenzoate anion, Fig. 1. A kink about the ethylene bridge is evident in the dication with the C9—C10—C13—C13i torsion angle being 104.1 (2)° [symmetry operation i: -x, 2 - y, 1 - z]. In the anion, the carboxylate is inclined to the benzene ring to which it is attached forming a dihedral angle of 85.45 (9)°, as is seen in the structures of related compounds, including that of 2,6-dinitrobenzoic acid (Arman et al., 2013). One nitro group is co-planar and the other twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which they are attached, forming O3—N2—C2—C3 and O5—N1—C6—C5 torsion angles of 179.80 (14) and 20.2 (2)°. respectively.
The ions are connected into three-component aggregates by charge-assisted N—H···O hydrogen bonds, Table 1. These are connected by C—H···O and π—π [inter-centroid distance for centrosymmetrically related pyridinium rings = 3.6796 (14) Å for symmetry operation -x, 1 - y, 1 - z, and for centrosymmetrically related benzene rings = 3.7064 (14) Å for 1 - x, -y, -z] interactions into a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2.
