2-Carbamylpyridinium tetrachloridoferrate(III)

Abstract

The title compound, (C6H7N2O)[FeCl4], contains two carbamylpyridinium (picolinamidinium) cations, which are linked into chains by N+—H...O hydrogen bonds formed between protonated pyridyl N atoms and carbonyl groups. Tetrachloridoferrate(III) anions lie between these chains, accepting N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds from both H atoms of the picolinamidium –NH2 group.
