1,4-Dimethylpyridinium iodide

Abstract

The title organic salt, C7H10N+·I−, was synthesized from a mixture of 4-methylpyridine and iodomethane in 2-propanol. It crystallized with three independent 1,4-dimethylpyridinium cations and three independent iodide anions in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present.
