In the crystal structures of the title compounds, C12H12N42+·2BF4-, (I), and C12H11N4+·ClO4-, (II), respectively, infinite two- and one-dimensional architectures are built up via N-H...F [in (I)] and conventional N-H...N [in (II)] hydrogen bonding. The N-N single bond in (I) lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry; as a result, the two pyridinium rings are parallel. In (II), the pyridinium and pyridyl ring planes are inclined with a dihedral angle of 14.45 (3)°.

Comment top

Neutral 4,4'-bis-pyridinyl methylenehydrazine has been known as an antitumour precursor (Hirayama et al., 1980) as well as an analytical reagent for the determination of Fe2+ concentration in solution (Luque de Castro & Valcarcel, 1978). Recent interest in this and related molecules stems from their use as a linear organic mono- or bidentate bridging ligands in the crystal engineering of multi-dimensional coordination polymers (Ciurtin et al., 2001; Patra & Goldberg, 2003; Kennedy et al., 2005; Granifo et al., 2006). The characterization of 4,4'-bis-pyridinyl methylenehydrazine (El-Rayyes & Katrib, 1983) and its crystal structure (Shanmuga Sundara Raj et al., 2000; Ciurtin et al., 2001), as well as the crystal structure of 4,4'-pyridinyl pyridinium methylenehydrazine diperchlorate, C12H12N42+·2ClO4- (Chen et al., 1997), have been reported. The geometric features of the non-isostructural compounds 4,4'-bis-pyridinium methylenehydrazine ditetrafluoroborate C12H12N42+·2BF4-, (I), and 4,4'-pyridinyl pyridinium methylenehydrazine perchlorate, C12H12N4+·ClO4-, (II), are discussed here.

The bond distances of N1—N1i [symmetry code: (i) -x, -y + 2, -z + 2] and N1C1 in (I), and N1A—N1B, N1AC1A and N1BC1B in (II), are longer than those of the diperchlorate salt [1.400 (4) and 1.260 (4) Å; Chen et al., 1997] but agree well with those reported for the 4,4-dipyridinium azinodimethylene chloranilate dichloromethane disolvate [1.411 (6) and 1.278 (5) Å; Kennedy & Waterson, 2003] (Table 1). Perspective drawings of compounds (I) and (II), with the atomic numbering schemes, are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively.

The two pyridine rings in (I) are coplanar, with an interplanar distance of 0.104 (2) Å and a dihedral angle of 1.21 (9)° with the mean plane of the —CHN—NCH— zigzag-like spacer, which exhibits an ideal antiperiplanar conformation with a torsion angle of 180° and the N—N bond lying on a crystallographic centre of symmetry. In (II), the molecule has no crystallographic centre of symmetry, the two ring planes are inclined by an angle of 14.45 (3)° and the antiperiplanar —CHN—N CH— spacer exhibits a torsion angle of -170.34 (2)°.

The parallel molecular stacks in (I) are arranged along the b axis (Fig. 3), maintained via ππ stacking at an interplanar distance of 3.335 (3) Å and supported by a bifurcated N—H···F hydrogen bond building up an extended two-dimensional architecture along the (100) plane and S-like molecular sheets along the c axis. On the first-level graph set, as defined by Bernstein et al. (1995) and Grell et al. (1999), D(2) and D22(16) finite patterns are formed via hydrogen bonds a and b, respectively. On the second-level graph set, C21(4) and C22(17) chains and an R66(43) ring can be recognized (Table 2 and Fig. 5).

In (II), no profound ππ stacking exists. However, the zigzag-like molecular stacks built up along the a axis direction (Fig. 4) are cemented by a conventional N—H···Niv [symmetry code: (iv) x, y - 1, z + 1] hydrogen-bond, (Table 3 and Fig. 6), giving rise to an infinite one-dimensional C(13) chain along the vector [011]. Assignments and graph-set analyses were performed using PLUTO (Motherwell et al., 1999).

Experimental top

Compound (I) was prepared as follows. Fe(BF4)2·6H2O (1 mmol; Aldrich), NH2NH2·H2O (1 mmol; Aldrich) and 4-pyridylcarboxaldehyde (2 mmol; Aldrich) were stirred under N2 flow in EtOH (95%) at 350–355 K for 2 h. The resulting solution was allowed to cool, and was then filtered and evaporated at room temperature for a few days. The yellow crystals were collected by filtration, washed with MeOH and dried in vacuo.

Compound (II) was prepared as follows. 4,4'-Bis-pyridinyl methylenehydrazine (1 mmol), prepared as described by El-Rayyes & Katrib (1983), was added to an ethanolic solution of Fe(ClO4)2·H2O (1 mmol; Aldrich). The solution was stirred at 350–355 K for 1 h. The resulting solution was cooled, and was then filtered and evaporated at room temperature for a few days. The red crystals were collected by filtration, washed with MeOH and dried in vacuo.

Refinement top

H atoms were refined isotropically and were constrained to the ideal geometry using an appropriate riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å and N—H = 0.88 Å [Please check added text], and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
