4,4 '-Di-tert-butyl-2,2 '-dipyridinium dichloride

abstract

In the title compound, C18H26N22+center dot 2Cl(-), the complete dication is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry; both N atoms are protonated and engaged in strong and highly directional N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds. Additional weak C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl contacts promote the formation of a tape along ca. [110]. The crystal structure can be described by the parallel packing of these tapes. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with twin law [-1 0 0, 0 -1 0, -0.887 0.179 1] and the final BASF parameter refining to 0.026 (2).
