3-(Ammoniomethyl)pyridinium bis(perchlorate)

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C6H10N2 2+ 2ClO4 , the Cl—O bond lengths [anion 1: 1.369 (3)–1.415 (3); anion 2: 1.420 (2)– 1.441 (2) A ° ] and the O—Cl—O angles [anion 1: 105.4 (2)– 111.8 (4); anion 2: 107.8 (1)–110.3 (1) ] indicate a slight distortion of the perchlorate anions from regular tetrahedral symmetry. In the crystal, the components are linked into columns along the a-axis direction via N—H O and C— H O hydrogen bonds, with stacks of the organic molecules being surrounded by stacks of perchlorate anions.
