2-[(E)-4-(Dimethyl-amino)-styr-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium 4-chloro-benzene-sulfonate monohydrate
Abstract:
In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C(16)H(19)N(2) (+)·C(6)H(4)ClO(3)S(-)·H(2)O, the 2-[4-(dimethyl-amino)-styr-yl]-1-methyl-pyridinium cation exists in an E configuration with respect to the C=C bond and is slightly twisted, with the dihedral angle between the pyridinium and benzene rings being 9.33 (10)°. In the crystal structure, the packing is stabilized by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, which link the cations, anions and water mol-ecules into chains propagating in [010]. These chains are stacked along the a axis by π-π inter-actions, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.6429 (12) and 3.6879 (12) Å; weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.

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...
