(E)-1-Methyl-4-[2-(1-naphth-yl)vin-yl]pyridinium 4-chloro-benzene-sulfonate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(+)·C(6)H(4)ClO(3)S(-), the cation exists in an E configuration with respect to the central C=C bond. The naphthalene ring system is slightly bent, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings being 3.71 (14)°. The whole cation is twisted, the dihedral angles between the pyridinium and the two aromatic rings of the naphthalene ring system being 47.44 (14) and 50.81 (14)°. The pyridinium ring and the benzene ring of the anion are inclined to each other at a dihedral angle of 68.21 (13)°. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are arranged alternately with the cations stacked in an anti-parallel manner along the c axis and the anions linked into chains along the same direction. The cations are linked to the anions by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π contacts with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6374 (16) and 3.6733 (17) Å. A short Cl⋯O contact [3.108 (2) Å] is also present.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
