Description
Summary:The title salt, C18H18N22+·2PF6−, exists as non-interacting cations and anions. In the cation, the pyridine and phenylene rings are aligned at 62.9 (1)°; the pyridine ring lies on a special position of m site symmetry and the phenylene ring on a special position of 2/m site symmetry. The angle at the methylene C atom is 112.8 (1)°. The anion lies on a special position of m site symmetry; four F atoms lie on this mirror plane.
