2-[(E)-2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C16H10NO+·I−, the dihedral angle between the pyridinium and benzene rings is 6.61 (8)°. In the crystal, the cation is linked to the anion by a C—H...I interaction arising from the activated aromatic C atom adjacent to the N+ cation.
