Bis{4-[(E)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethen­yl]-1-methyl­pyridinium} 4-chloro­benzene­sulfonate nitrate

In the title mixed salt, 2C₁₆H₁₅N₂⁺·C₆H₄ClO₃S⁻·NO₃⁻, one of the cations shows whole mol­ecule disorder over two sets of sites in a 0.711 (7):0.289 (7) ratio. The 4-chorobenzenesulfon­ate anion is also disordered over two orientations in a 0.503 (6):0.497 (6) ratio. The cations are close to planar, the dihedral angles between the pyridinium and indole rings being 1.48 (3)° in the ordered cation, and 5.62 (3) and 2.45 (3)°, respectively, for the major and minor components of the disordered cation. In the crystal, the cations are stacked in an anti­parallel manner approximately along the a-axis direction and linked with the anions via N—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...O inter­actions, generating a three-dimensional network. Weak C—H...π and π–π inter­actions [with centroid–centroid distances of 3.561 (2)–3.969 (7) Å] are also observed.

6-(4-Amino­phen­yl)-2-meth­oxy-4-phenyl­nicotino­nitrile

In the structure of the title nicotino­nitrile derivative, C₁₉H₁₅N₃O, the pyridine ring makes dihedral angles of 11.50 (7) and 43.36 (8)° with the 4-amino­phenyl and phenyl rings, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 36.28°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds into wave-like sheets parallel to (10-2). These sheets are stacked by π–π inter­actions between the 4-amino­phenyl rings of adjacent sheets, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7499 (9) Å. C—H...π inter­actions are also present.
