Crystal structure of 2-cyano-1-methylpyridinium bromide

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C7H7N2+·Br−, all the non-H atoms lie on crystallographic mirror planes. The packing consists of (010) cation–anion layers, with the cations forming dimeric units via very weak pairwise C—H...N interactions. Weak C—H...Br interactions link the cations to the anions.
