1,4-Dimethylpyridinium iodide (7.05 g, 30 mmol), prepared from CH3I and 1-methylpyridine [quantities?], 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (6.67 g, 49 mmol) and piperidine (0.2 ml) in methanol (40 ml) were heated at 353 K with stirring for 8 h (Okada et al., 1990). The product was recrystallized twice from ethanol–water (2:1), dissolved in water (0.70 g in 100 ml) and treated with a saturated solution of sodium tetraphenylborate. The title compound was separated, recrystallized twice from ethanol–water (4:1), and finally crystallized from ethanol/acetone (2:1). Brown–yellow crystals of (I) (m.p. 462–463 K) were grown by slow evaporation at ambient temperature for two weeks. Elemental analysis calculated for C15H16NO+·BPh4-: C 85.87, H 6.61, N 2.57%; found: C 85.97, H 6.84, N 2.47%.

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. |

Considerable effort has been made to investigate organic salts with large second-order optical nonlinearities (Chemla & Zyss, 1987). Marder et al. (1994) have synthesized a number of stilbazolium salts with large powder second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiencies. The organic `salt methodology' principle (Marder et al., 1989, 1994) claims that Coulombic interactions in organic salts could override dipole–dipole interactions which are favoured for antiparallel centrosymmetric packing [can this sentence be omitted since there is a similar statement below (move the 1994 reference to the later statement?)?]. During our systematic research for organic nonlinear optical materials, we isolated the title compound, (I), and describe its crystal structure here.
The title molecule (I) consists of a 3-methoxy-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium cation and a BPh4- anion. In the cation, which is nearly planar and in the trans form (Fig. 1), the pyridyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 4.3 (2)° with the phenyl ring. They are rotated in the same direction with respect to the central C—CH═CH—C linkage, by 10.0 (2) and 7.8 (2)°, respectively. The anion takes a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The B—C bond lengths are in the range 1.640 (3)–1.652 (3) Å, and the bond angles of C—B—C are in the range 104.8 (2)–113.7 (2)°.
The most interesting feature in the crystal structure is that the anions form a honeycomb-like hexagonal structure along the b axis. Table 2 lists the most important C—H···π interactions (type I; Umezawa et al., 1998). We can see the interactions between the fundamental molecule (FM) and its surrounding molecules (SMs). In particular, the anion–anion and the cation–anion interactions are C—H···π type (type I; Umezawa et al., 1998). On the other hand, the cations interact in a head-to-tail fashion [through interactions C14—H14C···O1(x, y - 1, z) and C15—H15A···N1 (x, y + 1, z), which could be considered as very weak hydrogen bonding], forming chains along [010], and the chains are packed in an antiparallel fashion inside the above honeycomb-like structure (Fig. 2) through C—H···π interactions. In the crystal structure, a hexagon is constructed by the six BPh4- anions whose central B atoms are labeled B1–B6 in Fig. 2. The portioning scheme in the program OPEC (Gavezzotti, 1983) with largely improved parameters (Gavezzotti & Filippini, 1994) was used to analyse the packing mode. Table 3 lists the corresponding data. According to Table 3, these factors probably contribute to the macroscopic morphology of the crystal structure. Therefore, the crystal might have potential applications in a field other than SHG.
The organic salt methodology principle (Marder et al., 1989) suggests that the anion–cation interaction in organic salts could override the dipole–dipole interaction, which provides a strong driving force for centrosymmetric packing in dipolar crystals. However, compound (I) is crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c and shows no SHG effect. To analyse the reason for this, a search was carried out of the Cambridge Structural Datebase (CSD; Verson 5.26; Allen, 2002) for stilbazolium tetraphenylborates. The total packing energies for cation–cation, anion–anion and anion–cation interactions were calculated using OPEC. The results for the related structures found in the search are listed in Table 4. As shown by Table 4, the data are very limited and the calculated absolute total PE value is not very accurate, but we could tentatively state that the centrosymmetric packing of the title crystal is likely to be due to the much stronger anion–anion interaction.
