2-Amino-5-methyl-pyridinium dibromo-iodate
Abstract:
In the title salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·Br(2)I(-), the cation is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0062 Å for the non-H atoms) while the anion is almost linear with a Br-I-Br angle of 177.67 (2)°. The crystal packing shows two anions and two cations connected via N-H⋯Br and (pyridine)N-H⋯Br hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, forming centrosymmetric tetra-mers with R(4) (4)(16) ring motifs. Very weak offset aromatic π-π stacking interactions [centroid-centroid separation = 4.038 (4), slippage = 1.773 Å] also occur.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
