N,N'-Diethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium diiodide

In the title compound, each I atom is situated 3.80Å from the ring centroid of a nearby pyridium ring, with shortest iodide contacts to that ring in the range 4.02-4.05Å. The closest contacts from iodide to the dication are in the range 3.77-4.05Å, with shortest distances to the N and ortho-C atoms of 3.843(3) and 3.770(4)Å, respectively.
