Abstract:
In the title mixed salt, 2C16H15N2 (+)·C6H4ClO3S(-)·NO3 (-), one of the cations shows whole mol-ecule disorder over two sets of sites in a 0.711 (7):0.289 (7) ratio. The 4-chorobenzenesulfon-ate anion is also disordered over two orientations in a 0.503 (6):0.497 (6) ratio. The cations are close to planar, the dihedral angles between the pyridinium and indole rings being 1.48 (3)° in the ordered cation, and 5.62 (3) and 2.45 (3)°, respectively, for the major and minor components of the disordered cation. In the crystal, the cations are stacked in an anti-parallel manner approximately along the a-axis direction and linked with the anions via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯O inter-actions, generating a three-dimensional network. Weak C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [with centroid-centroid distances of 3.561 (2)-3.969 (7) Å] are also observed.

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...
