Abstract
The title compound, C16H20N2 2+·2Br-·H2O (1) is a member of the class of compounds called viologens. Viologens are quaternary salts of di-pyridyls and are especially useful as redox indicators as a result of their large negative one-electron reduction potentials. Compound 1 consists of a dication composed of a pair of 4-methyl-pyridine rings mutually joined at the 2-position, with a dihedral angle between the pyridine rings of 62.35 (4)°. In addition, the rings are tethered via the pyridine nitro-gen atoms by a tetra-methyl-ene bridge. Charge balance is provided by a pair of bromide anions, which are hydrogen bonded to a single water mol-ecule [D O⋯Br = 3.3670 (15) and 3.3856 (15) Å]. The crystal structure of 1, details of an improved synthesis, and a full analysis of its NMR spectra are presented. © Behrman et al. 2020.Entities:

Contact percentages were derived from Hirshfeld-surface fingerprint plots (Spackman & McKinnon, 2002 ▸; McKinnon et al., 2004 ▸) using CrystalExplorer 17.5 (Turner et al., 2017 ▸). Reciprocal contacts are included in the totals. The sum of all percentages in the table is 100.1% due to accumulation of rounding errors.

| Experimental. The crystal was mounted using polyisobutene oil on the tip of a fine glass fibre, which was fastened in a copper mounting pin with electrical solder. It was placed directly into the cold gas stream of a liquid-nitrogen based cryostat (Hope, 1994; Parkin & Hope, 1998). Diffraction data were collected with the crystal at 90K, which is standard practice in this laboratory for the majority of flash-cooled crystals. |
| 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. |
