Abstract:
The title compound, C20H10N4S, and its dipyridinium salt, 4,4'-(2,1,3-benzodiazol-4,7-diyldiethynyl)dipyridinium diperchlorate, C20H12N4S2+*2ClO4-, display bond alternation in the 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole rings, which suggests their quinonoid character. The dipyridinium dication molecules stack along the a axis and form a dimer with short S.N interheteroatom contacts [3.146 (4) A] between the two 1,2,5-thiadiazole rings. The dimer is surrounded by the perchlorate anions with which it forms a large number of intermolecular N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
