2-[(E)-2-(4-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)ethen­yl]-1-methyl­pyridinium iodide

In the title mol­ecular salt, C₁₆H₁₀NO⁺·I⁻, the dihedral angle between the pyridinium and benzene rings is 6.61 (8)°. In the crystal, the cation is linked to the anion by a C—H...I inter­action arising from the activated aromatic C atom adjacent to the N⁺ cation.
